European MDR & Reusable Endoscopes

New rules mean new processes
 
With the introduction of Regulation EU MDR 2017/745, reusable rigid endoscopes are now class I reusable medical devices (class Ir).
Reusable rigid endoscopes deteriorate over time due to sterilization and wear.
There are now stricter requirements for the conformity assessment procedure for these products.

Stricter Compliance

For Class Ir products that are both reusable surgical instruments and have a measurement function, the effects of reprocessing on the measurement function must be evaluated and documented. 
 
That means that hospitals, repair centres and reprocessing companies need to set up their own functional test process to be compliant.
