At CERT3Global, we offer end-to-end CE marking services tailored specifically for medical companies and manufacturers. Our expert team is dedicated to making the certification process as seamless and efficient as possible, allowing you to focus on innovation and patient care.
1. Initial Consultation and Regulatory Strategy
Our process begins with a detailed consultation to understand your medical device and its intended market. We conduct a thorough assessment to identify the applicable EU directives and regulations. Based on this assessment, we develop a customized regulatory strategy, outlining the steps required to achieve CE marking compliance.
2. Conformity Assessment Planning
Different medical devices require different conformity assessment procedures. Our team guides you through the appropriate route, whether it’s self-certification, conformity assessment with a Notified Body, or a combination of both. We help you prepare the necessary documentation, including the Declaration of Conformity, which asserts that your device meets all relevant EU requirements.
3. Technical Documentation and Quality Management
Creating comprehensive technical documentation is a cornerstone of the CE marking process. This includes detailed information about the device’s design, manufacturing processes, clinical evaluation, risk management, and post-market surveillance plans. Our experts assist in compiling and reviewing this documentation to ensure it meets all regulatory standards. We also support the implementation and maintenance of quality management systems (QMS) compliant with ISO 13485, which is essential for medical device manufacturers.
4. Clinical Evaluation and Risk Management
A critical component of CE marking for medical devices is demonstrating clinical safety and performance. We provide guidance on conducting clinical evaluations, including designing and executing clinical trials if necessary. Our team also assists in comprehensive risk management, identifying potential risks associated with the device and establishing mitigation strategies in accordance with ISO 14971.
5. Product Testing and Certification
To ensure compliance with EU standards, rigorous testing is often required. We coordinate with accredited laboratories and Notified Bodies to conduct the necessary tests, covering aspects such as biocompatibility, electromagnetic compatibility, and electrical safety. Our team manages the entire testing process, ensuring adherence to relevant standards and timely completion.
6. Post-Market Surveillance and Continuous Compliance
Achieving CE marking is an ongoing commitment. We provide support for post-market surveillance, helping you monitor your device’s performance and manage any regulatory updates or changes. Our services include assistance with periodic audits, product modifications, and re-certification, ensuring continuous compliance throughout your device’s lifecycle.
