How System and Procedure Pack are regulated under EU MDR?
Let’s discuss System and Procedure Pack. We usually talk about medical devices like as an object that is used in the healthcare industry. But when you have to combine multiple objects, how can you then regulate that. Is there one classification for all or should you classify and register each of them. And what if all these objects are already CE marked?
So this episode will try to help you understand the legislation for these types of products described in article 22 of the EU MDR 2017/745 regulation on system and procedure pack. We will also mention the KITS that are described in the EU IVDR 2017/746 to show if there is an equivalent for in-vitro diagnostics

Hi Monir
Really useful information on System and procedure pack but i do have couple of question not sure if that is something you can answer.
1) If i am putting system or procedure pack together do i need to have a technical file.
2) I guess the system or procedure pack needs to be registered with MHRA.
3) On the labeling am i putting my name as the manufacturer or the distributor or economic operator.
4) Whole system or procedure pack will have UDI DI code but what if the individual component has got their own UDI DI code. Does that need to be registered on EUDAMED or only the UDI code for the full pack needs to be registered.
5) Does the whole pack needs to have their own lot, batch number.
