What is an MDCG guidance document?

MDCG (Medical Device Coordination Group) guidance documents are non-binding technical guidance published by the European Commission to assist manufacturers, Notified Bodies, and competent authorities in implementing EU MDR 2017/745 and EU IVDR 2017/746. They cover clinical evaluation, post-market surveillance, UDI, EUDAMED, and other compliance topics.

What FDA guidance documents are required for a 510(k) submission?

FDA 510(k) submissions must follow applicable FDA guidance documents including the general 510(k) Guidance, device-specific guidances, and quality system regulation (21 CFR Part 820). Key documents include guidance on substantial equivalence determinations, cybersecurity pre-market requirements, and device-type-specific performance standards.

What is a Team NB document?

Team NB (Team of Notified Bodies) publishes position papers, recommendations, and guidance documents developed collaboratively by European Notified Bodies designated under EU MDR and IVDR. These documents clarify application of regulatory requirements and support harmonised conformity assessment practices across Notified Bodies.
