19. Medicinal Product versus Medical Device
• Medicinal Product
(art.1(2) of DIRECTIVE 2001/83/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL, of 6 November 2001, as amended):
(a) Any substance or combination of substancespresented as having propertiesfor treating or preventing disease in
human beings; or
(b) Any substance or combination of substanceswhich may be used in or administered to human beingseither with a
view to restoring, correcting or modifying physiologicalfunctions by exerting a pharmacological, immunologicalor
metabolic action, or to making a medicaldiagnosis
• Medical Device:
(art.1(2) of COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 93/42/EEC, of 14 June 1993, concerning medical devices (as amended)
any instrument, apparatus, appliance,software, materialorother article, whether used alone or in combination,
including the software intended by its manufacturerto be used specifically for diagnostic and/ortherapeutic purposes
and necessary for its proper application, intended by the manufacturertobe used for human beingsfor the purpose of:
—diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment or alleviation of disease
—diagnosis, monitoring, treatment, alleviation of or compensation for an injury or handicap,
—investigation, replacement or modification of the anatomy or of a physiological process,
—control of conception,
and which does not achieve its principalintended action in or on the human body by pharmacological, immunologicalor
metabolic means, but which may be assisted in its function by such means;

20. Steps for
Class IIb medical devices compliance
• Classification: ensure the device is a Class IIb medical device.
• Choose Conformity Assessment Route: refer the flow chart below.
• Compile the Technical File.
• Obtain certification from a Notified Body
• Declaration of Conformity.
• Appoint an Authorised Representative.
• (Hold the Tech Files for inspection by the Competent Authority)
• Vigilance and Post Market Surveillance.
• (affix CE marking & market the products)
OF_20160921
22. Class IIb Medical Devices:
Conformity Assessment Routes
• In the case of devicesfalling within Class IIb, other than deviceswhich are custom-made orintended for clinical
investigations, the manufacturershall, in order to affix the CE marking, either: follow the procedure relating to the EC
declaration of conformity set out in Annex II (full quality assurance); in this case, point 4 of Annex II is not applicable;
or
• follow the procedure relating to the EC type-examination set out in Annex III, coupled with:
• (i) the procedure relating to the EC verification set out in Annex IV;
or
• (ii) the procedure relating to the EC declaration of conformity set out in Annex V (production quality assurance);
or
• (iii) the procedure relating to the EC declaration of conformity set out in Annex VI (product quality assurance).
• There are tworoutes: a Notified Body must carry out either an Annex II audit of the full quality assurance system (ISO
13485:2003),
or
• a type-examination (AnnexIII) plus one of the three options given here:
• Examination and testing of each product or homogenous batch of products (Annex IV); or
• Audit of the production quality assurance system (Annex V:) ISO 13485:2003 (excluding Design) or
• Audit of final inspection and testing (Annex VI:) ISO 13485:2003 (excluding Design & Manufacture)
• Once the manufacturerhasreceived certification from the Notified Body he may CE mark his productsand place them on
the market.

The Path to Personalized Medicine
Margaret A. Hamburg, M.D., and Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D.,NEJM, June 15, 2010.
The success of personalized medicine dependson having accurate diagnostic
tests that identify patients who can benefit from targeted therapies.
Increasingly, however,the use of therapeutic innovationsfor a specific patient is
contingent on or guided by the results from a diagnostic test that has not been
independently reviewed for accuracy and reliability by the FDA.
The agency's goal is an efficientreview processthat producesdiagnostic–
therapeutic approaches that clinicians can rely on and allows companiesthat
invest in establishing the validity and usefulness of tests to make specific, FDA-
backed claims about benefits.
