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.

Identifying the PRRC

  • He should have the right diploma, 
  • He should have 1 year of experience in regulatory affairs or quality management systems on medical devices.

For Identifying the PRRC what Diploma is required?

There is no fix choice but it should be a diploma in:

  • Law
  • Medicine
  • Pharmacy
  • Engineering
  • Another Scientific Discipline

Identifying the PRRC Responsibilities

The PRRC has at least 5 responsibilities clearly outline in Article 15. 

  • Checking the conformity of medical devices in accordance with the quality management system (QMS) before the medical device is released; 
  • Drawing up the technical documentation and keeping it up to date;  
  • Making sure the post-market surveillance obligations are in compliance with EU regulations Article 10(9);  
  • Fulfilling the reporting obligations referred to in reporting of serious incidents and field safety corrective actions (Article 82) and implementing acts (Article 86) 
  • Ensuring the statement that investigational devices (Section 4.1 of Annex XIV) meet the GSPRs is signed.

What is a Person Responsible for Regulatory Compliance


The Person Responsible for Regulatory Compliance is one of the new requirement of the EU MDR European Medical Device Regulation and In-Vitro Diagnostic Regulation 2017/745 and 2017/746. As the European Union’s (EU) Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and In-Vitro Diagnostic Medical Device Regulation (IVDR) continue to evolve, one requirement is getting a lot of attention – the person responsible for regulatory compliance (PRRC).

This individual (or individuals) is one of the newly introduced requirements of the MDR/IVDR and their presence is to ensure that companies have a qualified regulatory expert at their disposal. If a company consists of more than one legal manufacturer, each legal manufacturer must appoint its own PRRC. Both the MDR and the IVDR require a “person responsible for regulatory compliance” (PRRC).

The role of the  person responsible for regulatory compliance (PRRC)

The role of the Person Responsible for Regulatory Compliance is defined in Article 15 of the EU MDR (2017/745). MDR requires medical device manufacturers to appoint a designated employee with regulatory expertise to ensure compliance with the EU MDR. 

Does every medical device manufacturer require a PRRC?

The mandate to appoint a Person Responsible for Regulatory Compliance depends on the size of your organization. The MDR provides an exception for small manufacturers. Medical device manufacturers with fewer than 50 full-time employees (globally) and under 10 million Euros in global sales revenue (not just EU) are not required to have a Person Responsible for Regulatory Compliance within the company. 

Who should employ a Person Responsible for Regulatory Compliance?

Micro and small companies should have permanent and continuous access to the services of such a person. The service can be outsourced. Larger companies should have such a person within their organization.

The requirements for the person responsible for regulatory compliance differ depending on the type and size of the economic actor and the role. With the persons responsible for regulatory compliance, the MDR and IVDR have introduced a role whose responsibility and importance goes far beyond that of the safety officer.
