Following a request from the European Commission, the Scientific Committee on Health, Environmental and Emerging Risks (SCHEER) provided the final version of the Guidelines on the benefit-risk assessment of the presence, in the medical devices specified in the mandate, of phthalates which have one or more of the following properties: carcinogenic, mutagenic, toxic to reproduction or endocrine-disrupting.These Guidelines describe the methodology on how to perform a BRA for the justification of the presence of CMR 1A or 1B and/or ED phthalates (CMR/ED phthalates) in medical devices and/or parts or materials used therein at percentages above 0.1% by weight (w/w). Based on information taken from the Baseline Country Survey on medical devices that started on January 2010 and was updated on 2013-2015, and later on minor yearly updates. The WHO list of priority medical devices for cancer management describes the medical devices that are required to manage cancer, based on the list of clinical interventions selected from clinical guidelines on prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, palliative care, monitoring and end of life care. They also describe the evaluation of possible alternatives for these phthalates used in medical devices, including alternative materials, designs or medical treatments.They are intended to be used by the relevant stakeholders e.g. The report of the second meeting of the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on In Vitro was launched in November 2019 and includes the updated WHO Model List of Essential In Vitro Diagnostics (EDL), which lists 122 in vitro diagnostic categories and incorporates evidence base and expositions of the applications to be included on the EDL and the basis of decisions made to list or reject these IVDs. This publication addresses medical devices that can be used for management of cancer and specifically describes medical devices for six types of cancer: breast, cervical, colorectal, leukemia, lung and prostate. Therefore, SCHEER encourages manufacturers to generate data of high quality on such alternatives for CMR/ED phthalates in medical devices.On the basis of the preliminary version, the Commission launched a public consultation where interested parties were invited to submit their comments on the scientific evidence from 18 March to 29 April 2019Expert Panel on effective ways of investing in healthMedical Devices - Dialogue between interested partiesEuropean Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) Use standard sterilization and disinfection procedures for patient-care equipment (as recommended in this guideline), because these procedures are adequate to sterilize or disinfect instruments or devices contaminated with blood or other body fluids from persons infected with bloodborne pathogens or emerging pathogens, with the exception of prions. co-packaged with the 50 .

This document During the preparation of these Guidelines for BRA of the use of CMR/ED phthalates in medical devices, SCHEER noticed that a number of BRA methodologies are theoretically available. Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), all medical device manufacturers must register their facilities and list their devices with FDA and follow general controls requirements. Computing Services reserves the right to modify this guideline as necessary. This publication is on automated non-invasive BPMDs with cuff, including characteristics, regulatory requirements and standards, calibration as well as maintenance. These requirements facilitate the monitoring of device performance and ensure systematic investigation of failures and/or deviations in the way a device performs, in an attempt to prevent an adverse event occurring again. Added a new section on COVID-19 medical devices guidance. Nominate an official health technology focal point in the country ministry who is in charge of coordinating the reply to the country questionnaire. Added a link to guidance for manufacturers who don’t design or manufacture devices …
