As of May 26, 2021, the EU Regulation 2017/745 (MDR) has been established to replace the old EU directive on medical devices (93/42/EEC). In terms of content, the MDR differs significantly from the previous EU directives in many aspects. Among the important innovations are the expansion of the scope of application, the specification of minimum content for the creation and maintenance of technical documentation, and the tightening of requirements for clinical evaluation. Additionally, new classification rules have been introduced, including a new class classification for reusable surgical instruments, as well as devices that include software and nanomaterials.
