While IVDR has applied in full to new devices since May 2022, certain legacy IVDs previously certified under Directive 98\/79\/EC can continue to be placed on the market under extended transition timelines approved by the European Parliament. This update emphasizes that manufacturers benefiting from these transition provisions must continue to meet all regulatory conditions until their respective deadlines. If these conditions are not met, the device will no longer be eligible for the transition period and must either comply fully with IVDR requirements or be withdrawn from the market. This serves as a regulatory compliance alert for IVD manufacturers operating in the EU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<span  id=\"india\"><\/span><br><br>\n<h3 style=\"background:#f3f3f3;padding:12px;\">INDIA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>System Auto-Generated Neutral Code for Export under Medical Devices Rules, 2017<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) has introduced a provision enabling system auto-generation of Neutral Codes by licensed medical device manufacturers for export purposes, under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017. This Neutral Code serves as a substitute identifier in place of sensitive or proprietary product information on export labels and documents, helping manufacturers comply with both Indian and international regulatory requirements. It ensures traceability, compliance with export control norms, and protection of commercially confidential information. The Neutral Code will be generated through the CDSCO\u2019s online licensing portal, reducing manual intervention and enhancing operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Auto-Generated Market Standing Certificate and Non-Conviction Certificate for Licensed Medical Devices <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To promote ease of doing business and simplify regulatory procedures, the CDSCO has implemented an upgraded workflow within its Online System for Medical Devices. Effective April 9, 2025, applications for the Market Standing Certificate (MSC) and Non-Conviction Certificate (NCC) which are required for licensed medical devices issued by the Central Licensing Authority will now be processed through a new auto-generation system. With this change, all existing MSC and NCC applications submitted under the previous manual workflow will be automatically rejected by the system. Stakeholders are therefore required to resubmit their applications under the new auto-generated system starting from the date of the notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Draft Revision of Risk-Based Classification Lists for Cardiovascular and Neurological Medical Devices \u2013 Open for Stakeholder Comments <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) has issued a draft revision of the risk-based classification lists for medical devices under the categories of Cardiovascular and Neurological devices, as part of its regulatory framework under the Medical Devices Rules (MDR), 2017. In line with Rule 4(3), Chapter II of the MDR and notification S.O. 648(E) dated 11.02.2020, the Central Licensing Authority is required to classify medical devices based on a risk-based approach. Existing classification lists have been revisited, and new entries have been proposed. The draft is now available for stakeholder consultation, and comments are invited within 30 days of publication via a Google Form link. This initiative aims to ensure updated and accurate classification aligned with safety, performance, and regulatory needs<\/p>\n\n\n\n<span  id=\"ireland\"><\/span><br><br>\n<h3 style=\"background:#f3f3f3;padding:12px;\">IRELAND<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Summary of Field Safety Notices <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA) released a summary of all Field Safety Notices (FSNs) issued in March 2025 for medical devices affecting the Irish market. The summary includes notifications from manufacturers about safety concerns, product recalls, or corrective actions. Each entry is organized by product name, manufacturer, and the type of action taken.
