We develop an open source data model for the technical documentation of medical devices to speed up digitalization

Info

We are a German based non-profit association founded by stakeholders from the European medical technology sector that are working together on the world's first unique free of charge regulatory data model for the technical documentation for medical devices. Our motivation: We want to accelerate digitalization in the industry in order to increase efficiency in product development and achieve shorter market approval procedures - and thereby enable more innovations for diagnosis and therapy of patients. Why a non-profit organisation? Our industry is diverse and the regulatory landscape complex and volatile. A regulatory data model can only be developed quickly if we use the powerful knowledge and experience from our community. We want to ensure that all parties in the industry ecosystem benefit quickly from digitalization - regardless of whether they are global players, start-ups, notified bodies or other regulatory authorities. We focus on the development of a data model for the European market and compliance with the MDR/IVDR in close cooperation with regulatory parties. In order to do so, we have set up expert groups for different topics, incl. technical documentation, product development, risk management, usability engineering, clinical evaluation, PMCF, PMS etc. Interested? Stay tuned & follow our LinkedIn profile! - We are working on a new website - We will use LinkedIn for collection of feedback regarding discussions in the expert groups - We will publish results on LinkedIn to ensure transparency Want to join the MDKU? Get in contact with us! Let's revolutionize regulatory affairs and the way of documentation!

  • 📢 We are very happy to announce that together with DIN Deutsches Institut für Normung e. V., we will be launching the innovative DIN SPEC project for the data model for the #technicalDocumentation for #medicalDevices in January 2024. There are two differences to a "typical" DIN SPEC project: 1️⃣ The working group will not start from scratch, but instead use results from our MDKU work as input for the DIN SPEC process. Together with industry associations, notified bodies and other interested parties, a review by those stakeholders will then take place. The aim is to publish a data model that is supported and accepted by as many representatives of the industry as possible. 💡 As result, the data model will enable all of us to establish a uniform regulatory language in Europe and lay the foundations for a rapid #digitalization in our #medicalTechnology industry and related organizations. 2️⃣ The DIN SPEC will be published under the Common Creative Licence CC BY-ND, which is completely new for a DIN SPEC. We would like to thank DIN Deutsches Institut für Normung e. V. for being open to new approaches to standardisation in order to support our healthcare systems in Europe and improve patient care! We would particularly like to thank Sebastian Kriegsmann, Joachim Lonien and Thilo Schmidt for their openness in understanding the needs of our industry and the implications of such a project - but of course also to DIN management for supporting this new approach. ❗ Important to understand: The development of a data model for all information within the technical documentation of a medical device is very complex due to the large number of specific topics, e.g. #productDevelopment#riskManagement#ClinicalEvaluation#UsabilityEngineering, just to name a very few. 👉 The first release of the data model in 2024 will therefore initially publish only a part of the data model, which will contain information relating to the intended purpose. This pilot project is primarily about trialling and shaping this new consensus process with all those involved. The data model will then be supplemented step by step with further releases. We know, that many of you are waiting impatiently, but this is a huge and innovative project and we learn a lot on the way. We started in 2019 with the idea, founded the MDKU in autumn 2021 and have now approx. 100 members that work in more than 7 working groups. That we are now able to start the this DIN SPEC project is the result of those people - 𝐚 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐊 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐌𝐃𝐊𝐔 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬! 🙏 🙏 🙏 The more support we get from the Medtech community - including industry associations, notified bodies and Medtech companies - the faster we will be! Will you join us? 🚀 💫 🤩
