It 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. Also, notified body audits often take anywhere from 3-12 months to occur. As such, Class I software medical devices can take as little as days to months and Class IIA hardware medical devices can take months to years.
Yes! Formly’s software is built for everyone. If you are unfamiliar with the medical device regulations or wishing to improve your workflow efficiency to get certified faster and easier, our software can help. Our Document Autopilot generates MDR and FDA compliant documents for you and built in descriptions and video walk-throughs guide you through the rest.
In the EU, medical device certification is a CE mark for your product. CE is an abbreviation of "conformité européenne" which equates to European conformity. CE marking indicates that a product has been assessed and deemed to meet EU safety, health and environmental protection requirements. It is required for products manufactured anywhere in the world that are then marketed in the EU. CE marking is especially important for medical devices which must meet a high regulatory standard before being allowed on the market.
In the US, medical device certification means approval of your product by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This can be as simple as registration of your device in the FDA database for Class I products, to 510(k) clearance for Class II devices, or PMA for Class III devices. In all cases, medical products like medical devices are under regulatory scrutiny of the FDA and need to satisfy the FDA requirements in order to be sold on the US market.
You can’t be too early but you can be late. Once you understand what product you want to build, you can start your certification journey. The regulatory processes and records created while preparing for your certification integrate with product design, development, and testing. By starting your certification procedures early, you integrate quality processes into your workflow and avoid having to repeat steps down the road.
