European Commission survey for healthcare professionals: Electronic Instructions for Use for medical devices

Posted on 05.08.2024

The European Commission has launched a new survey to gather insights from healthcare professionals and those working in healthcare institutions regarding electronic instructions for use (eIFU) of medical devices.

The survey seeks feedback on potentially expanding the scope of eIFU Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2226 to include all professional-use medical devices (i.e., devices used by healthcare professionals). It is important to note that healthcare professionals can still request a paper copy of the instructions at no charge. Additionally, the survey includes an open-ended question to collect opinions on eIFU for non-professional use devices.

The survey, available in all EU languages, will be open until 11 October 2024 and takes less than 5 minutes to complete.

Your participation is crucial in advancing the adoption of eIFU for medical devices. Please help us by sharing this survey with relevant professionals and spreading the word within the medical community.
