The certification process for medical devices is centered around meeting the regulatory requirements specified by the country you wish to certify your device in. Companies looking to certify their medical device in the EU (CE mark) or in the US (FDA approval / clearance) should typically go through the following steps:
-determine their product risk class and regulatory requirements according to EU Medical Device Regulations (MDR) 2017/745 or US FDA 21 CFR,
-establish a Quality Management System under ISO 13485 for EU or 21 CFR Part 820 for US FDA,
-create your technical documentation for your device according to the standards relevant for your region,
-undergo an audit your quality management system and technical documentation (unless Class I in EU or 510(k) exempt in US),
-maintain post-market requirements for the device for surveillance and device changes.
Formly’s software helps you with all of these steps.
This all depends on your medical device.
Class III devices have more extensive regulatory requirements than Class I devices and often take longer to prepare for market entry. Your development time for creating and testing your product will always depend on your company and product type. Generally, Class I software medical devices can take as little as days to months. Class II (IIa / IIb) medical devices can take months to years, and Class III devices take multiple years.
When it comes to reviewing your certification submission, in the EU, notified body audits often take anywhere from 3-18 months to complete for Class IIA, IIB and III products. In the US under the FDA, the review for 510(k)s take 30-90 days while Premarket Approval (PMA) can take up to 180 days. Typically, 510(k)s are for Class II products and PMAs are for Class III products.
