EU MDR Transition - IFU & Label Update

Duration: 8 months • Role: Regulatory Affairs Specialist

IFU and label content has to be re-validated against the MDR General Safety and Performance Requirements directly, not just copied forward from the MDD-era documents.

Context

Updating the IFUs for Healix Advanced and RigidFix, alongside their classification update, meant re-validating the IFU and label content directly against the MDR General Safety and Performance Requirements rather than copying it forward from the MDD-era documents.

EU MDR IFU Update Classification

Primary Risks Identified

  • An MDD-era requirement with no confirmed MDR equivalent, left unmapped in the technical file until a notified body identifies the gap

Testing Approach

Mapped each MDD-era requirement/document against its MDR equivalent using the technical documentation correlation tables, verified against applicable harmonized standards, and tracked action items to closure in the quality plan.

MDD to MDR Mapping Harmonized Standards Verification

Outcome

Updated the IFU/label content to reflect current MDR requirements, closing the labeling gap identified during the transition review.

Key Lessons

IFU and label content has to be re-validated against the MDR General Safety and Performance Requirements directly, not just copied forward from the MDD-era documents.
