PRRC and related Responsibilities
Article 15 of the Medical Devices Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR) requires that every medical device manufacturer and every EU authorized representative have at least one person responsible for regulatory compliance.
The Responsible Person replaces the Medical Device Safety Officer but has significantly more tasks and areas of responsibility than the Safety Officer previously had. As the person responsible for the conformity of the medical devices supplied, you should be thoroughly familiar with the requirements and obligations and implement them accordingly.
