MDR法規架構:
100多條的MDR,有沒有覺得光想都頭大了呢?我們前面提到了MDR和MDD的差別,可以知道MDR的大改版,對各經營者(Economic operators)的要求絕對是只有多沒有少呢?那MDR到底有包含哪些要求呢?乍看之下,把一大堆法規同時塞在一起真的會一些混亂(豈是一些混亂),我們就先把法規做一個最基本的展開做一個簡單的介紹。了解整個MDR的結構後,就會對歐盟的醫材法有個比較清楚的掌握,至少對MDR大約包含了什麼,界線大約在哪有個基本的了解。
MDR的組成可以分成10章123條,另外還有17個附錄。
這十章分別代表了:
第I章(第1-4條):適用範圍和定義
第I章簡述:
第一章當然是告訴此法規適用的範圍在哪裡,MDR中所提及的各種定義像是醫材的定義,還有針對部份定義做調整的情形,最後第4條說明了法規的監管情形
第II章(第5-24條): 醫材投入市場、 各經營體職責、再處理(reprocessing)、CE標誌、 產品自由流通
第II章簡述:
第二章算是一個比較混亂的章節,有點像是把看起來不那麼相關的一些主題拼起來。這章在說明產品要投放到市場上需要符合預期用途、GSPR中臨床評價等要求。另外一些像遠距銷售、宣稱、通用標準、各經營體(像是歐盟代表、製造商等)職責、產品再處理、DoC、CE標誌的議題也是放在這裡
第III章(第25-34條): 產品追溯、經營者註冊醫材、安全性與臨床性能摘要SSCP、歐盟醫材資料庫(EUDAMED)
第III章簡述:
從供應鏈管理、醫材的命名、UDI、SSCP、產品註冊到醫材資料庫EUDAMED,本章說明了歐盟追蹤產品的決心。
第IV章(第35-50條): 第三方驗證機構
第IV章簡述:
相較於MDD,Notified 只有放在第16條(大約一1-2頁),MDR一口氣塞給了NB 16條,把NB送上天堂。更清楚的定義了許多對NB的要求。這也是為什麼說MDR使得NB責任及負擔更大。
第V章(第51-60條): 醫材分類、符合性評鑑
第V章簡述:
更新的醫材分類和符合性評鑑搭配附錄VIII到附錄XI一起。需要重新檢視自家產品的分類和符合性評鑑是否在MDR下有改變。
第VI章(第61-82條): 臨床評估和試驗
第VI章簡述:
臨床絕對是MDR的重點部份。MDR將更多的臨床要求納入,比起MDD廠商極有可能要做更多的評估及報告甚至是試驗。
第VII章(第83-100條): 上市監管、警戒和市場監管
第VII章簡述:
上市後的監督也絕對少不了。更多重要的上市後要求也在MDR的第VII開始明確要求。細節在未來討論。
第VIII章(第101-108條): 歐盟成員國合作、 醫療器材協調小組(Medical Device Coordination Group, MDCG)、專家小組、醫材註冊資料庫等
第VIII章簡述:
本章著重在歐盟成員國及各種專家小組的規定
第IX章(第109-113條): 保密性、資料保護、資助及懲罰
第IX章簡述:
保密性、資料保護、資助及懲罰相關
第X章(第114-123條): 最終條例
第X章簡述:
一些其他相關規定
必須要先掌握它的結構才能知道它在談什麼、在規範什麼、在要求什麼。
下面我們簡要的將各章節提一下,大家就會有一個印象MDR涵蓋了哪些部份,也因此可以判斷像是定義加適用範圍、經營體職責、UDI和EUDAMED、臨床、上市後、更新的產品分類及符合性評鑑、GSPR、技術文件這些是相對重要,所以理解它們的內容尤其關鍵。在未來章節,我們會更進一步提供這些MDR重要的章節資訊。
下面是將MDR展開以章節區分MDR的組成要素,理解了章節組成,對閱讀法規有實質幫助。
