What are Non-Notified Medical Devices?
A non-notified medical device is any such device that, under no condition or circumstances, needs to be registered or notified to a regulatory authority before it can be marketed or put into use. As different countries impose different demands on the notification or registration of such devices, specific requirements might vary from country to country; however, in general, they demand that the devices meet certain regulatory requirements beforehand with a safety and effectiveness prerequisite for their clearance. Devices that could fall under this category in certain jurisdictions may include:
- Low-Risk Devices: These are devices that do not pose serious risks to patients and users, like basic bandages or non-sterile tongue depressors, and as such, may not require formal notification and registration.
- Custom Devices: Those devices that are custom-made for a particular patient from a prescription by a health professional may be exempt from the majority of the regulatory processes.
- Exempted Devices: Certain categories of devices are exempt in some countries, either by their nature, or function, or scope according to the degree of risk.
- Devices Intended for Personal Use: Devices not intended for clinical or commercial use, but rather destined for personal use by an individual under conditions specified, are exempt from notification.
Probably, the particular rules in every country or region have to be checked, since sometimes the meaning of "non-notified" may be different. Very often, even when the device is non-notified, it has to comply with the requirements of certain safety and quality standards or regulatory authorities.
