Devices that have a higher risk classification under the new rules \u2014 including those that use electricity to restore a bodily function, like a defibrillator \u2014 arent eligible, but that would only apply to a \u201crelatively small portion\u201d of products on Europes market, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meddeviceonline.com\/doc\/exploring-the-mdr-s-impact-on-legacy-medical-devices-0001\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">according to analysts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As BSI hears from devicemakers about their plans over the next two years, the \u201cmajority\u201d are \u201cin the main looking to recertify more of their products [under the older directives] and put less through the [new regulations],\u201d said Slack. U.K.-based BSI is among Europes biggest notified bodies, the name given to the mostly private companies charged with assessing whether medical devices are safe and effective.<\/p>\n<p>T\u00dcV-S\u00dcD, a leading notified body based in Germany, said it is preparing for its clients to take a similar approach. \u201cAll (or at least the majority of) manufacturers\u201d with products whose existing approvals expire between 2019 and 2023 are expected to submit applications for renewals under the old rules while they still can, according to Bassil Akra, a T\u00dcV-S\u00dcD vice president in charge of medtech.<\/p>\n<p>There are around half a million different types of medical devices made by more than 27,000 companies on the EU market, and all of them will need to pass scrutiny by a notified body to remain available. Both Slack and Akra argue companies decisions are designed to hedge against a tight timeframe rather than an attempt to skirt the new requirements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a shame. Had that runway been a little bit longer, you might have seen a quicker uptake of the regulation,\u201d Slack said.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n\u201cIt does not help anyone if it means that surgical instruments are no longer available because of administrative difficulties\u201d <em>\u2014 Gesine Mei\u00dfner, German MEP<\/em>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>MedTech Europe canceled an interview with Bisazza for this article and did not respond to requests to reschedule.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the criticism from devicemakers has been directed at the fact that notified bodies must themselves be reapproved to certify products under the new regulations. That has eaten into much of the year and a half since the new rules were signed off, with only a few of the nearly 60 notified bodies around the Continent expected to gain approval by early 2019 \u2014 BSI among them. T\u00dcV-S\u00dcD is also in the late stages of the process, but Akra said the timing for a final decision by regulators is something of \u201cblack box.\u201d<strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some MEPs say the industrys response is relatively predictable, if disappointing. While negotiating the legislation, Parliament called for old approvals to be valid for just two years, but the Council <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/wd53_MDIVD_11_May_16.pdf\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">insisted on the five-year period agreed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe already did a step back,\u201d Borzan said in an interview. \u201cYou give them more [time] and they just want even more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Others have pushed for an extension to the May 2020 deadline, in line with industrys concerns \u2014 arguing that it may be necessary to ensure the supply of products, including some common-use items like scalpels that cant be grandfathered under the old rules.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt does not help anyone if it means that surgical instruments are no longer available because of administrative difficulties,\u201d said German liberal MEP Gesine Mei\u00dfner in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gesine-meissner.de\/presse\/pressemitteilungen\/details\/debatte-mit-der-kommission-ueber-medizinprodukte-brexit-darf-keinen-engpass-fuer-patientenversorgung-in-der-eu-ausloesen.html\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">statement<\/a> in October. \u201cChanging the date of application would theoretically be easy.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Hard work ahead<\/h3>\n<p>The new regulation doesnt represent a \u201cseismic\u201d shift in safety standards from the current directives, according to Slack. He said the EUs existing rules were already tightened substantially in the wake of the breast implant scandal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIts probably been more of a challenge for manufacturers to some extent to stand up to the directives as they stand now,\u201d Slack said. Efforts to shore up the existing law resulted in many subpar notified bodies being put out of business: the total shrank from 79 to around 60 since 2013. Only 34 have applied to keep operating under the new rules, Bie\u0144kowska told Parliament in October.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/pro\/medical-device-companies-create-their-own-delay-for-strict-new-rules\/economic-forum-in-krynica-2\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/h_53752666-714x496.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Danish Health Minister Ellen Trane N\u00f8rby | Grzegorz Momot\/EPA<\/p>\n<p>However, while the older directives strongly encouraged manufacturers to take steps like collecting clinical data on products once theyre in use, for example, the new regulations require that.<\/p>\n<p>Data collection \u201cis costly and takes time, and sometimes it has not been done,\u201d said Fran\u00e7oise Schlemmer, director of Team-NB, the Brussels lobby for notified bodies, though it is \u201cessential to ensure the safety and performance of the device.\u201d She added, \u201crecertification is probably requiring less work from the manufacturer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icij.org\/investigations\/implant-files\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Implant Files<\/a> investigations raising public outrage, governments have also been prompted to back swift implementation of the new rules.
