Compliance for AI-based medical devices
An increasing number of medtech products use AI components for image analysis, diagnostic support, and clinical decision support, among other applications. Those who wish to sell these products in the EU must comply with two sets of regulations: the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and the EU AI Act. The latter generally classifies AI-based medical devices as high-risk AI systems.
We support you in considering both sets of regulations from the outset and implementing them efficiently.
Our services include:
- Validation of AI components according to MDR and EU AI Act requirements (including bias, robustness, and performance testing)
- Audit-proof documentation of training data, model architecture, and decision logic (explainability)
- Establishment of post-market surveillance and drift monitoring for learning systems
- Preparation for conformity assessments and interactions with notified bodies
This allows you to avoid duplication of effort and create consistent evidence for market access in Germany and Europe.
