The dossier requires a CE certificate of the finished product issued by a notified body (with EU 722/2012 TSE annotation where bovine material is used), an ISO 13485:2016 or EN ISO 13485:2016 certificate from an internationally accredited certification body covering the product category, and a stamped/signed Declaration of Conformity. A CE certificate is not required for Class I non sterile devices, which instead submit a compliance with essential requirements and harmonized standards checklist.

Document format, signatures and samples

Uploaded documents must be original, stamped with the company's official stamp and signed by the legal representative (scans or electronic signature accepted); the file includes technical file contents on manufacturer letterhead (composition, analysis certificate, sterilization certificate, packaging), inner/outer label data with Master Label samples and artwork, the original IFU signed and stamped by the manufacturer, shelf life certificate, previous license for re registration, and a device sample.

Certificate legalization rule

Foreign certificates from reference countries must be legalized by the Chamber of Commerce and the Egyptian Embassy in the country of origin unless EDA verifies their authenticity directly with the issuing bodies; if the issuing body does not respond within 3 months of file receipt, the file is saved and must be resubmitted with legalization.

Extra evidence for non-reference-country devices

For devices imported from non reference countries in all classes (I, IIa, IIb and III), the applicant must provide clinical trials published in reputable scientific journals and an approved, stamped summary of market history from centers/hospitals in reference countries where the device was used, plus material composition certificate, catalog/leaflet with intended use and inner/outer labels.

What the Estonian Medical Devices Act adds to the dossier: retention of the documents available to Ravimiamet for the MDR/IVDR periods

The national addition to the dossier regime is a retention and availability duty. Under § 25 of the Medical Devices Act the manufacturer or its authorised representative must keep device related documents available to Ravimiamet for the following periods: at least ten or 15 years, as provided in Article 8 of Chapter III of Annex IX, Article 7 of Annex X, Articles 9 and 10.5 of Part A of Annex XI, Articles 17 and 18.4 of Part B of Annex XI and Article 4 of Annex XIII to Regulation (EU) 2017/745; and at least ten years, as provided in Article 7 of Chapter III of Annex IX, Article 6 of Annex X and Article 6 of Annex XI to Regulation (EU) 2017/746. § 2(1) of the same Act channels the national general layer: the obligations of the manufacturer, its authorised representative, the importer and the distributor, the notified body, conformity assessment of medical devices and market surveillance are subject to the requirements of the Product Conformity Act, with the derogations arising from the Medical Devices Act and from Regulations (EU) 2017/745 and (EU) 2017/746. The Estonian regime therefore does not add dossier content to the Union technical documentation; it adds who must hold it, for how long, and in what form of availability to the national authority.

The device dossier in Estonia is the technical documentation of MDR/IVDR, applied directly

Estonia is a Member State of the European Union and applies Regulation (EU) 2017/745 and Regulation (EU) 2017/746 directly, so the device dossier is the technical documentation those Regulations require rather than a national dossier compiled for Ravimiamet. Under Article 10(4) MDR, manufacturers of devices other than custom made devices must draw up and keep up to date technical documentation for those devices, such as to allow the conformity of the device with the requirements of the Regulation to be assessed, including the elements set out in Annexes II and III; for custom made devices the documentation is that of Annex XIII Section 2. Article 10(8) requires the manufacturer to keep the technical documentation, the EU declaration of conformity and, where applicable, a copy of any relevant notified body certificate available to the competent authorities for at least 10 years after the last device covered by the declaration of conformity has been placed on the market, or at least 15 years for implantable devices, and to provide the technical documentation in its entirety or a summary on request by a competent authority. Annex II sets out the technical documentation contents, beginning with device description and specification, including variants and accessories.

The dossier Iceland expects is the EU package: CE marking, EU declaration of conformity and MDR Annex I information

The documentation that matters for Iceland is the Union package. The manufacturer must issue an EU declaration of conformity under Annex IV of Regulation (EU) 2017/745, and the device must be accompanied by the required information under Annex I Chapter III point 23 of that Regulation, including the manufacturer's name and registered address, the device name, package contents and intended purpose, the batch or serial number, and shelf life and storage conditions where applicable. Lyfjastofnun's guidance lists these items as examples and states the list is not exhaustive.

No Icelandic dossier is filed with the authority; technical documentation is held by the manufacturer

Iceland has no national dossier submission. The manufacturer (other than of custom made devices) must draw up technical documentation and keep it up to date; the documentation must allow the conformity of the device with the Act and the Regulations to be assessed and must cover the matters set out in Annexes II and III of the Regulations. The file is kept by the manufacturer, not filed with Lyfjastofnun; the authority's power is to require it to be produced on request.

The analyse track adds a lot analysis report and a description of the analysis methods

For a device placed in the 'analyse' track rather than the 'avis technique' track, the dossier must contain, in addition to every document required for an avis technique: a dated and signed lot analysis report including the tests performed, the acceptability intervals of the specifications and the normative reference associated with each test; and a detailed description of the analysis methods. Where the finished product's specifications at expiry differ from those at release, both must be provided with their acceptability intervals.

The avis technique dossier: 13 lettered items from liaison sheet to labelling mock-up

The device technical dossier for the 'avis technique' track is built from the following documents: (a) the fiche de liaison; (b) the Autorisation Provisoire d'Enlèvement (APE); (c) the detailed purchase invoice describing all the products concerned; (d) the free sale certificate from the country of origin; (e) the manufacturer's declaration of conformity; (f.1/f.2) the EU conformity certificate or its MDR transition alternative; (g) or the US conformity document; (h) or the Canadian licence; (i) the physico chemical and microbiological analysis report for non solid forms; (j) the sterility attestation for sterile devices; (k) the biocompatibility attestations; (l) the animal origin attestations; (m) the labelling mock up. The APE (Autorisation Provisoire d'Enlèvement) is therefore a required filing document alongside the conformity evidence.

The manufacturer's declaration of conformity must carry the Basic UDI-DI, the risk class and the legislation complied with

The manufacturer's declaration of conformity in the Tunisian device dossier must state at least: the manufacturer's name and address; the product's trade name, product code, lot number or any other unique reference allowing identification and traceability of the device covered by the declaration of conformity; the Basic UDI DI (IUD ID); a declaration of which legislation the device complies with (the example given is Regulation (EU) 2017/745 or other); the place and date of issue plus the signatory's name and full details; the reference to the ISO and EN standards to which the device is declared conform; the device's risk class (I, Is, Im, IIa, IIb, III); and, where applicable, the notified body's name and identification number, a description of the conformity assessment procedure followed and the reference of the certificate(s) issued.

Layer of product-type evidence: per-lot analysis, sterility, biocompatibility, animal origin

Beyond the regime level conformity certificate, the Tunisian device dossier requires product type specific evidence. For non solid devices (solution, gel, cream, paste): the physico chemical and microbiological analysis report for the finished product for each lot, stating the acceptance interval of the specifications for each test, dated and signed by a responsible person, plus the complete qualitative and quantitative composition — and where CMR substances are present the manufacturer must comply with Annex I, Chapter II, point 10.4 of Regulation (EU) 2017/745. For sterile devices: an attestation of sterility stating the lot numbers and expiry dates of each article, the normative reference of the sterilisation process, and the date and visa of the responsible person; a sterility test result on an analysis report may be accepted. For biocompatibility: ISO 10993 1 attestation for all devices, ISO 10993 7 for ethylene oxide sterilised products and ISO 10993 11 for pyrogen free products, each established by the manufacturer. For animal origin devices (collagen, bone): ISO 22442 and/or Regulation (EU) 722/2012 attestation established by the manufacturer.
