The Home Page

The first likely point of contact that competent authorities and manufacturers will access on the European Commission’s website is the welcome page for medical devices. Direct links to a multitude of important pages are provided, including those on regulatory framework, specific areas of development, market surveillance and vigilance, scientific and technical assessment, and dialogue between interested parties. Furthermore, the bottom of the page profiles current information: news, events and recently published materials.

Another useful tool of navigation is the left sidebar of the home page. Here, quick links to reference documents, other useful links, and questions and terms are easily accessible. The contents of these specific pages and their use to manufacturers are discussed in what follows.
