MHRA – Guidance on Class I Medical Devices: Although derivative of the full guidance in Sections 7-8 above, this advice on Class I medical devices – eligible for self-certification in most cases because of their low risk profile – is a useful guide; e.g. MHRA lists areas that must be covered by a manufacturer’s Technical File; in summary these are:

Product Description

Raw Material and Component Documentation

Intermediate Product and Sub-Assembly Documentation

Final Product Documentation

Packaging and Labelling Documentation

Packaging Specifications / Copies of All Labels / Any Instructions for Use

Design Verification

Risk Analysis

Compliance Requirements (per UK MDR 2002, Part II, Annex I (as modified by UK MDR 2002, Schedule 2A, Part II))

Declaration of Conformity (per UK MDR 2002, Part II, Annex VII (as modified by UK MDR 2002, Schedule 2A, Part II))
