US versus EU Medical DeviceRegulation
• Directives to Member States– Implemented by Member State parliaments
in national legislation– Overseen by national Competent Authorities– Compliance checked by Notified Bodies– Enforcement under national jurisdiction
• Based on compliance not notice or approval• No EU centralized authority• Different approach to determining standard
of care: national health systems,
