Know Why Identifying the PRRC Important?




 Identifying the PRRC for your company is a most important requirement that applies to the European Union and is a core area of responsibility for a person or persons under the Medical device regulation, or In vitro device regulation . The directive to appoint the PRRC also depends on the size of the organization. This is mandatory requirement for any CE Marking under the new EU MDR

The motivation for Identifying the PRRC positions is so that there is a qualified regulatory expert directly responsible for the manufacturing and the market surveillance and reporting systems to ensure the company is meeting the European Union requirements.  Companies are not limited to one PRRC and the responsibilities can be allocated to several people, as long as the requirements concerning qualification are met and the distribution of the respective areas of responsibility are documented. If the responsibilities are divided among more than one person, ensure that all responsibilities are covered.
