How Complyra checks EU MDR 2017/745 — Medical Device Regulation

When a product is searched or sourced in Complyra, its category and description are matched against the trigger categories and keywords above. If EU MDR 2017/745 — Medical Device Regulation applies, the product and its supplier are checked against the materials, substance limits and required documents recorded for the regulation, and the result is shown alongside the supplier match, before an RFQ is generated.

Suppliers on Complyra register and upload certifications that are reviewed by an administrator; see supplier compliance for how that review works and supplier sourcing for how compliant suppliers are found and matched.

Complyra checks product and supplier information against regulatory requirements to support procurement decisions. It does not issue certifications or guarantee legal compliance; final responsibility for compliance remains with the buyer and supplier.
