# EU MDR qualification and borderline products

EU MDR qualification guide for medical purpose claims, accessories, software, Annex XVI products, and borderline routes to classification and conformity assessment.

*Artifact Guide* *EU MDR*

## EU MDR qualification and borderline products

Qualification starts with the manufacturer's intended purpose: the MDR definition covers instruments, software, implants, reagents, materials, and other articles intended for specific medical purposes in humans.

Use this page to separate medical devices, accessories, medical device software, Annex XVI no-medical-purpose products, and adjacent medicinal-product or IVD questions before choosing the classification and conformity route.

An EU MDR qualification file should answer one narrow question before classification begins: does the product fall inside Regulation (EU) 2017/745 as a medical device, accessory, device-related software, or Annex XVI product, or does an adjacent regime drive the route?

## Start with the intended purpose evidence

The MDR definition of a medical device turns on the manufacturer's intended use for humans and the specific medical purpose claimed. Check the label, instructions for use, promotional and sales statements, product specifications, clinical evaluation plan, website claims, sales training, and release notes before relying on an internal label such as wellness, cosmetic, analytics, platform, or accessory.

A product points toward MDR qualification when the intended purpose is diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, prediction, prognosis, treatment, or alleviation of disease; diagnosis, monitoring, treatment, alleviation, or compensation for injury or disability; investigation, replacement, or modification of anatomy or a physiological or pathological process or state; or information from in vitro examination of human specimens. The principal intended action must not be pharmacological, immunological, or metabolic, although those means may assist the device.

- Record the exact claim text and where it appears: label, IFU, app store listing, website, demo script, quotation, clinical evaluation, or sales material.
- Separate product identity from use case: the same technical platform can have MDR and non-MDR modules if some functions have a medical purpose and others do not.
- Treat intended-purpose changes as a new qualification trigger before release, because they can change both MDR scope and later classification.

Sources for this answer:

- [Regulation (EU) 2017/745 on medical devices](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2017/745/oj?ref=sorena.io) - Defines medical device and intended purpose, including reliance on labels, instructions for use, promotional or sales materials, and clinical evaluation.

## Separate device, accessory, software, and Annex XVI routes

If the product is not itself a medical device, test whether it is an accessory. Under the MDR, an accessory is not itself a medical device but is intended to be used with one or more particular medical devices to enable their intended purpose or directly assist their medical functionality. That means cables, controllers, consumables, connectors, apps, and service components need a specific device-function link, not just a general healthcare customer base.

For software, apply the MDCG software qualification steps. Software that only stores, archives, communicates, losslessly compresses, or performs simple search is not qualified on that basis alone. Software that acts on data for the benefit of individual patients, drives or influences a hardware device, functions as an accessory, or is an Annex XVI product can fall into the medical devices framework and then needs classification.

Annex XVI products are different: they are listed product groups without an intended medical purpose that the MDR brings in once common specifications apply. Examples grounded in the common specifications include non-corrective contact lenses, products introduced into the body to modify anatomy, dermal fillers, adipose-tissue reduction equipment, high-intensity optical radiation equipment for skin treatment, and non-invasive brain-stimulation equipment. If the same product has both medical and non-medical purposes, keep both requirement sets in the file.

- Accessory evidence: identify the particular device, intended combined use, and the function the article enables or directly assists.
- Software evidence: map whether the software acts on data, benefits individual patients, drives or influences a device, or creates information from IVD-only data.
- Annex XVI evidence: name the listed product group, applicable common specification, risk-management record, and any clinical-evaluation evidence used to show safety.

## Turn the qualification answer into a release gate

Use the MDR qualification record to control claims, labels, software functions, Annex XVI assumptions, classification handoff, and conformity-assessment planning before market release.

- [Talk through implementation](/contact.md): Review your intended-purpose evidence, borderline analysis, classification handoff, and release controls.

## Handle borderline questions without collapsing regimes

Borderline files should explain why the MDR route, another EU route, or an escalation path applies. The MDR expressly excludes IVDs covered by Regulation (EU) 2017/746 and medicinal products covered by Directive 2001/83/EC, with principal mode of action central to the medicinal-product boundary. Where a device incorporates an IVD part, MDR governs the device while IVDR requirements apply to the IVD part.

For software using IVD and medical-device data, MDCG 2019-11 uses the significance of the data sources for the intended purpose to decide whether the software belongs under MDR or IVDR. If the intended purpose is substantially driven by IVD data sources, the IVDR route is indicated; if substantially driven by medical-device data sources, the MDR route is indicated.

Do not use GPSR, cosmetics, machinery, or general product-safety labels as shortcuts in an MDR qualification file unless the cited source supports the boundary. For this artifact, the grounded boundaries are MDR, accessory, software, Annex XVI, IVD, and medicinal-product boundaries.

- Write a one-paragraph boundary conclusion for each adjacent regime considered and cite the exact MDR or MDCG basis.
- Escalate to regulatory or notified-body review when the principal mode of action, software data source weighting, Annex XVI product group, or combined medical and non-medical purpose is unresolved.
- Keep unsupported national penalty details, invented deadlines, and generic product-law statements out of the qualification record.

## Escalate qualification into classification and conformity assessment

A yes-scope answer is not enough for market release. Once the file concludes that the product is an MDR device, accessory, MDR medical device software, or Annex XVI product, route it into MDR classification, technical documentation, clinical evaluation or safety evidence, and conformity assessment planning.

For software, MDCG 2019-11 points from qualification into Annex VIII classification. Software that drives or influences another device falls in the same class as that device; independent software is classified in its own right; and if several rules or sub-rules apply, the higher classification applies. Rule 11 is the central software rule for information used for diagnostic or therapeutic decisions and monitoring physiological processes.

For Annex XVI products, the implementing regulation requires documented risk-management responsibilities, criteria, records, lifecycle updates, and information supplied with the product. Information for a non-medical purpose should not carry clinical-benefit claims; mixed medical and non-medical products need the claims separated.

- Minimum output: product identity, intended-purpose evidence, qualification conclusion, adjacent-regime analysis, unresolved assumptions, and approval owner.
- Classification handoff: applicable Annex VIII rule or software rule, rationale for strictest applicable rule, and whether notified-body involvement is expected.
- Conformity handoff: technical documentation owner, clinical or safety evidence owner, label and IFU change owner, and release gate that blocks unsupported claim changes.
