American and European legislation on border medical devices.
Expert Review of Medical Devices 2022 September
INTRODUCTION: Borderline medical devices are products in a 'gray area,' this means due to their characteristics, they could belong to different 'legal products.' In addition, regulation is a controversial topic and may change depending on the country which may put public health at risk and distort the market.
AREAS COVERED: This article analyzes how borderline medical devices are managed in the American and the European legislation. We compared the decisions made by both regulations on the devices of the Manual on Borderline and Classification Medical Devices of the European Commission for the first three sections, those which deal exclusively with medical devices.
EXPERT OPINION: Borderline medical devices do not have to be understood as something specific to each country. The different classification of products creates international borders. It is necessary to create working groups in international organizations in which global consensus is reached. Although a priori it seems that the American system could be more efficient, studies with quantitative data from authorized devices are needed to show that. Until EUDAMED is not fully operational and open access, it will not be possible to develop them.
