TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION

Technical documentation is critical for the bringing to market and continued marketing of products that conform with applicable regulations.
Defining the regulatory strategy

Specific medical device risk / benefit analysis and risk management methodology.

Compilation of usability engineering tests, biocompatibility, clinical and scientific investigation and user experience studies.

1 - MEDICAL DEVICES

European Regulation (EU) 2017/745 relating to medical devices (MD) was adopted in April 2017. These regulations came into force as of 26 May 2021 and our teams worked to ensure our conformity as quickly as possible.

These new regulations have updated the European requirements in terms of boosting safety, post sales monitoring, clinical investigations and traceability in particular. It introduced specifically the UDI, or the Unique Device Identifier, which we have implemented. This enables the distinct and formal identification of all devices on the market.

The devices and their UDIs must be registered on EUDAMED (European Databank on Medical Devices) This database has 6 modules that will gradually be put online. We have already registered with the first module: “Registering Economic Operators” and been given our SRN (Single Resgistration Number) code.

In addition, in compliance with the Regulations, we have appointed within the company a Person Responsible for Regulatory Compliance (PRRC).

YSLAB - Dispositifs médicaux

Furthermore, as part of the placing on the market process for our medical devices, we compile:

  • biological evaluation in accordance with the ISO 10993 Standard
  • clinical evaluation
  • risk management file including a risk / benefit analysis in accordance with the ISO 14971 Standard
  • Usability engineering tests recorded in the usability dossier in accordance with the IEC 62366-1 Standard
  • A packaging conformity check for all our customers

We manufacture Class I and IIa medical devices: Bag-on-valve sprays, pump sprays, baby aspirator, etc.

If the medical device is Class I, the regulation allows self-certification.

For our Class IIa products, an evaluation request must be submitted to our Notified Body (NB). Following the evaluation and approval of the notified body, the products are granted their CE Certificates and CE Markings.

Once the declaration of conformity has been issued or the CE Certificate obtained, we then take responsibility for declaring the placing on the market of the product with the National Medecines and Healthcare Product Safety Agency (ANSM).

2 - COSMETICS

Cosmetic products are substances or combinations intended to be in contact with the surface areas of the human body or with teeth and mouth mucosa to, exclusively or primarily, clean, perfume, modify the appearance, protect, maintain in good condition or remedy bodily odours. These products are governed by Regulation (CE) 1223/2009.

A food supplement is a food product that is intended to supplement normal dietary regimes and that offers a concentrated source of nutrients or other substances that have nutritional or physiological effects. These types of products are governed by Directive 2002/46/CE and Regulation (EU) 1169/2011. Additional legislative requirements are also applicable in France (Plant Decree, Substance Decree).
