The Medical Device Law Implementation Act (MPDG) is the latest set of regulations that applies to companies that manufacture, distribute or market medical devices in Germany. MPDG replaces the previous Medical Devices Act (MPG) and is intended to supplement MDR 2017/745. The MPDG regulation outlines processes that are specific to Germany including clinical trials, product labeling, and medical device classification.
The Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990 requires medical device user facilities (i.e., hospital, ambulatory surgical facility, nursing home, or outpatient treatment facility) to notify any suspected death, serious illness, or injury to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and manufacturer. It is designed to protect the public by ensuring that medical devices are not unsafe for their intended use.
