Research with medical devices
On May 26, 2021, the EU Medical Device Regulation (EU no 2017/745 (MDR)) entered into force. As a result, the rules for submission, review and conduct of clinical research with medical devices have changed.
As soon as a study relates to the safety or performance of a medical device (also software or app) the MDR-regulation applies.
General information can be found on the CCMO website 'clinical investigations with medical devices'.
When in doubt, please seek advice from the relevant department of your own institution.

First consult the CCMO website to determine whether submission should be made to the CCMO or to the MREC.
It is important to clearly describe the purpose of the research. If you believe, for example, that a particular app or other device does not fall within the scope of the MDR, then please substantiate this.
