The Reality

Why MDR technical review
is not a commodity.

EU MDR 2017/745 has transformed technical documentation from a certification artifact into a living regulatory system. Notified Bodies no longer check whether documents exist. They assess whether the technical file is internally consistent, whether clinical evidence actually supports device claims, and whether post-market surveillance plans reflect genuine monitoring.

The most common failure mode is misalignment between sections — a clinical evaluation that claims equivalence with a device the risk management file treats as novel. These gaps are expensive to fix after submission.

Eclevar Medtech's approach is to review technical documentation as a Notified Body would, before it reaches one. We look for internal inconsistency, evidentiary gaps, and claims that cannot be sustained under scrutiny.

Who we work with

🔄

MDD-to-MDR Transition

Manufacturers with legacy CE-marked portfolios under MDD who must achieve MDR certification before deadlines. We fix structurally insufficient technical files.

🌍

Market Entry — EU Naive

Asian, US, or non-European manufacturers entering the EU market. We build the MDR documentation, manage Notified Body selection, and establish EU regulatory infrastructure.

📂

Lifecycle Management

Already CE-marked manufacturers who need a standing regulatory partner to manage annual PSUR, PMCF execution, and EUDAMED maintenance.

Therapeutic Verticals

❤️ Cardiovascular

TAVI, stents, EP catheters, structural heart devices, pacemakers, and vascular grafts.

🦴 Orthopedics & Spine

Joint replacement, spinal implants, fracture fixation, bone cements, and biomaterials.

🦷 Dental

Dental implants, restorative materials, orthodontics, bone substitutes, and CAD/CAM.

🩹 Advanced Wound Care

Advanced dressings, negative pressure, antimicrobial, and skin substitutes.

How an MDR engagement works

From initial contact to standing post-market partnership.

1

Initial scoping

Portfolio review, classification assessment, NB relationship status, and transition timeline. Scoping note within five business days. No cost for initial assessment.

2

Gap analysis

Systematic review against MDR requirements. Prioritised remediation plan with timelines, deliverable list, and resource estimate. Structured by section and urgency.

3

Documentation programme

Technical file remediation, CER and biological evaluation authoring, PMCF plan, risk management review. Each deliverable reviewed internally before delivery.

4

NB submission

Submission package preparation, NB query management, and technical call participation. Our background means we anticipate questions and resolve them efficiently.

5

Post-market standing

Annual PSUR, PMCF execution, literature surveillance, EUDAMED maintenance, and QMS oversight. We function as your standing regulatory partner.

Start your MDR scoping

Whether you are in MDD-to-MDR transition, entering the European market for the first time, or managing ongoing post-market compliance obligations, Eclevar can scope your regulatory position within five business days.
