Joint statement supporting the expansion of the use of Electronic Instructions For Use in the medical devices sector

MedTech Europe, together with 11 organisations, asks the Medical Device Coordination Group (MDCG) to consider the scope extension of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2226 on electronic Instructions for Use (eIFU) a priority for 2024.

Expanding a scope of this regulation via a targeted update will allow for a level playing field, help equity of access to medical devices across the EU and thereby support efficient MDR implementation.
