PRRC

The EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) 2017/745 and the EU In-vitro Diagnostic Devices Regulation (IVDR) 2017/746 require as per Article 15, that every manufacturer of medical devices or of in-vitro diagnostic medical devices and their Authorized Representative designate one or multiple Persons Responsible for Regulatory Compliance (PRRC).

A PRRC bears a resemblance to the Safety Officer pursuant to §30 of the former German Medical Devices Act (MPG), however, it is not identical, as responsibility and relevance of the Person Responsible for Regulatory Compliance significantly exceed those of the Safety Officer.

The person responsible for regulatory compliance shall at least be responsible for ensuring that

the conformity of the devices is appropriately checked, in accordance with the quality management system under which the devices are manufactured, before a device is released;	Compliance check of the devices?
the technical documentation and the EU declaration of conformity are drawn up and kept up-to-date;	Technical documentation and EU declaration of conformity drawn up and up to date?
the post-market surveillance obligations are complied with in accordance with Article 10(10) (MDR) or Article 9 (IVDR);	Surveillance (PMS) performed?
the reporting obligations referred to in Articles 87 to 91 (MDR) or respectively Articles 82 to 86 (IVDR) are fulfilled;	Reporting to authorities?
in the case of investigational devices, the statement referred to in Section 4.1 of Chapter II of Annex XV is issued (MDR), and in the case of devices for performance studies intended to be used in the context of interventional clinical performance studies or other performance studies involving risks for the subjects, the statement referred to in Section 4.1 of Annex XIV is issued (IVDR).	Statement on clinical investigations/performance studies?

Furthermore, the MDR and the IVDR require of the PRRC a specific professional qualification.
