EU MDR Article 10 Extensions

What EU MDR adds to
your ISO 13485 QMS.

Holding ISO 13485:2016 certification is not sufficient for EU MDR compliance. Article 10 introduces specific Quality Management System obligations that extend beyond the standard.

01 - PRRC

Person Responsible for Regulatory Compliance

MDR Article 15 requires a designated PRRC. This function must be formally documented with responsibilities, authority, and independence to escalate concerns.

MDR Art. 15PRRC Charter
02 - SURVEILLANCE

Post-Market Surveillance System

The PMS system must be a formal process for proactive and reactive data collection, signal detection thresholds, and feedback loops into clinical evaluation.

PMS ProcedurePMSR / PSUR
03 - VIGILANCE

Vigilance with EU MDR Timelines

Must include the Art. 87-89 decision tree: serious incident classification, 72-hour reporting for immediate risks, FSCA notifications, and EUDAMED registration.

72hr ReportingFSCA
04 - UDI

Unique Device Identification

The QMS must include UDI assignment, labeling, and EUDAMED registration procedures covering the full lifecycle, including UDI changes.

UDI-DI/PIEUDAMED
05 - EVALUATION

Clinical Evaluation as a Process

Clinical evaluation is a lifecycle process embedded in the QMS with defined update triggers linked to design controls and PMS signals.

CER UpdatePMCF Integration
06 - DOC CONTROL

Technical Documentation Control

A procedure covering exact structure, review triggers, version control, and the essential linkage between CER, PMS, and risk management.

Certification Pathway

From gap assessment
to Notified Body certificate.

A structured delivery model that moves fast without exposing the manufacturer to audit risk. Most first-time implementations reach NB Stage 2 certification in 14-16 weeks.

Week 1 - Free

Gap Assessment

Free 30-minute call to assess the current QMS status against ISO 13485:2016 and EU MDR Article 10 requirements.

Formal Gap Analysis Report

Written gap analysis covering all eight sections of ISO 13485, including a remediation roadmap with timeline and resource estimates.

Weeks 4-12

QMS Build or Remediation

SOP library authored, Quality Manual written, processes documented, and training records established covering all obligations.

Weeks 13-14

Internal Audit

A comprehensive internal audit performed against ISO 13485 clause-by-clause. Non-conformities are identified and CAPAs initiated.

Weeks 15-16

Notified Body Stage 1 & 2 Audit

Eclevar Medtech team presence for audit preparation and support. Real-time query response targeting zero Major NCRs.

Ongoing

Certificate & Surveillance

ISO certificate issuance. Annual surveillance visits managed and continuous regulatory change monitoring ensured.

Free Gap Assessment

Know your QMS gaps
before the Notified Body does.

Most manufacturers discover ISO gaps during the audit. A gap identified internally requires a CAPA and a week of work. Found during Stage 2, it means a Major NCR, follow-up visit, and 3-6 months delay.

Our free call provides a structured review of your documentation against ISO 13485:2016 and Article 10.
