UNANNOUNCED AUDITS: AN OVERVIEW OF THE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION, STRATEGIES FOR PREPARING IN ADVANCE, AND A NOTIFIED BODY’S EXPERIENCE TO DATE

The European Commission recently released a recommendation on the audits and assessments performed by notified bodies in the field of medical devices and defined specific requirements for Unannounced Audits. Annex III of the commission recommendation outlines specific criteria for these audits to manufacturers, their critical subcontractors and crucial suppliers, and is applicable to any manufacturers with a CE certificate from a notified body. While the industry has been heavily focused on the future potential changes to the medical device and IVD regulation, many have not realized that these unannounced visits are starting now, regardless of when the regulation is finalized.
