EUDAMED (the European Database on Medical Devices) is the European Commission’s central database supporting the implementation of the Medical Device Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (EU MDR) and the In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Device Regulation (EU) 2017/746 (IVDR). It brings together information on manufacturers, medical devices, certificates, clinical investigations, vigilance activities and market surveillance into a single interconnected system.

By improving transparency, traceability and regulatory oversight, EUDAMED helps competent authorities, notified bodies, manufacturers and healthcare professionals access accurate information throughout the medical device lifecycle. This guide explains what EUDAMED is, how its six modules work together and why it has become an essential part of medical device regulatory compliance.
