Italian Medical Device Registration Changes

The Change:
CE Marked Risk Class I devices no longer need to be registered in Italy if the manufacturer or his Authorized Representative has registered the device in another EU member State.

How did this happen?
The US Department of Commerce's International Trade Administration (ITA) received complaints from QNET (on behalf of all its Authorized Representative clients) and Advamed (1600 members). ITA successfully communicated these complaints to the EU Commission.

In response to the EU Commission's pressure, Italy adopted a new Decree, which brought about: 1) lifting of the Risk Class I registration requirement (if already registered in another EU State) and 2) a much streamlined registration process for the higher risk class devices.

Result
With the assistance of the ITA, QNET helped bring about a savings of US$600-800.00 per device registration for its clients.

A prime example of how a committed Authorized Representative company can serve its clients in the EU.

Machinery Authorized Representative Clarified for Manufacturers
Assigning of an European Union (EU) Authorized Representative by American and Canadian machinery manufacturers has been clarified.

Effective December 29,2009 all non-European based machinery manufacturers are required to identify a 'person' or 'entity' established in the European Union who is authorized to keep the manufacturer's technical file or have quick access to it. The Authorized Representative must have received a written mandate (agreement) from the manufacturer before its name appears on the Declaration of Conformity along with the name and address of the manufacturer.

The term 'Authorized Representative does not describe a sales and marketing function, it describes a CE compliance/regulatory affairs function only.

The EU Commissions is strengthening its surveillance and enforcement of the CE mark program and requires that the first point of contact is the manufacturer's European Authorized Representative.

Release of a credible technical file should not be taken lightly since it contains confidential and proprietary/design information. It is therefore of great importance to appoint an established and knowledgeable EU Authorized Representative firm, in accordance with an EU legal agreement that includes confidentiality.

QNET B.V. Amstenrade The Netherlands with offices in Minnesota USA, is a professional EU Authorized Representative firm in accordance with the Machinery, Medical and In-Vitro Diagnostic Directives, whose knowledgeable CE compliance managers have performed Authorized Representative services since 1998.

EU Competent Authority Vigilance System
In an effort to harmonize vigilance reporting in the EU, the European Commission published meddev document 2.12/1 rev 5, based on the Global Harmonization Task Force November 2006 vigilance guidance document. However Meddev documents are not legally binding and QNET device experts realized a need to determine if all EU Competent Authorities were willing to accept incident reports based on meddev 2.12/1 rev.5, and decided to contact all for a response to two simple questions during January 2008.
