Expert compilation, review, and remediation of EU MDR 2017/745 Technical Documentation. Ensure your dossier is audit-ready for Notified Body submission
Medical device manufacturers placing products on the European market must prepare and maintain comprehensive technical documentation to demonstrate compliance with the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) 2017/745.
A CE Marking Technical File is a core regulatory requirement for medical devices and provides the documented evidence needed to demonstrate that a device meets the applicable General Safety and Performance Requirements (GSPRs).
Patient Guard provides expert CE Marking Technical File services for medical device manufacturers, supporting the preparation, review, remediation, and ongoing maintenance of MDR-compliant technical documentation.
We help manufacturers build structured, audit-ready Technical Files that align with MDR Annex II and Annex III requirements and support notified body review where applicable.
Whether you are preparing a new Technical File, updating legacy documentation, or addressing identified gaps, we ensure a clear and compliant route to CE marking readiness.
Our consultants are medical device specialists who confidently guide you through the strict requirements of EU Regulation 2017/745.
From Class I self-certified devices to complex Class III implantables, we have extensive hands-on experience authoring technical files for all risk tiers.
We build and format technical documentation to align perfectly with the precise expectations, terminology, and assessment pathways of top Notified Bodies.
We don’t believe in over-complicating compliance. We build clear, lean technical documentation frameworks customized for your specific product line.
We hook your technical files cleanly into your active EN ISO 13485 Quality Management System, risk data, and clinical evidence streams.
We structure your documentation with proactive Post-Market Surveillance (PMS) and PMCF systems built-in, making long-term maintenance easy.
Drafting precise device descriptions, intended use justifications, basic UDI-DI setup, and formal MDR classification rationales.
Compiling the mandatory checklist demonstrating compliance with all relevant General Safety and Performance Requirements.
Authoring or auditing your risk files, hazard lists, mitigation steps, and final benefit-risk analyses to establish product safety.
Organizing and presenting physical testing metrics, electrical safety (IEC 60601), biocompatibility data, and sterilization validations.
Developing robust Clinical Evaluation Plans and Reports (CEP/CER) that verify your device performance using solid clinical data.
Reviewing packaging layouts, caution symbols, medical device identification markers, and technical instructions for use (IFU).
Under Regulation (EU) 2017/745, manufacturers must prepare and maintain technical documentation that demonstrates conformity with the applicable requirements of the MDR.
A compliant Technical File for a medical device typically includes:
| No | Heading | Contents |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Device Description | Full specifications, intended use, and UDI-DI |
| 2. | Labelling & IFU | Instructions for use in all required EU languages. |
| 3. | Design & Manufacturing | Documentation of design stages and supply chain sites. |
| 4. | GSPR Mapping | Evidence for General Safety and Performance Requirements. |
| 5. | Benefit-Risk Analysis | Full risk management files (ISO 14971) |
| 6. | Verification & Validation | Bench testing, sterilization, biological evaluation, clinical evaluation |
| 7. | Post Market Surveillance | PMS Plan, PSUR, PMCF Plan, PMCF Reports |
Is your CER MDR-compliant? Under the latest MDR standards, clinical evidence must be proactive and continuous. We ensure your Technical File contains a robust Clinical Evaluation Report supported by your Post-Market Surveillance (PMS) data.
If your device incorporates AI or machine learning, your technical documentation must now address the requirements of the EU AI Act. We specialize in mapping software lifecycle processes (IEC 62304) and cybersecurity measures into your CE dossier.
We assess your device, classification, and current documentation status.
We review your existing Technical File or source documents against MDR requirements.
We identify missing sections, weak justifications, and documentation gaps.
We help compile, revise, and structure the Technical File for compliance.
We support final checks ahead of submission, audit, or notified body review.
We support Technical File preparation for a wide range of medical devices, including:
