seca is awarded MDR certification

EU Medical Device Regulation successfully implemented three months before it fully comes into force

- As one of the first Med Tech companies in Europe, seca is the global market leader in medical measuring and weighing and has passed the official MDR (Medical Device Regulation) audit even before the new EU regulation comes into effect in May 2020. Three auditors from the Notified Body (TÜV-SÜD Product Service) analyzed and audited the seca quality management system in accordance with the MDR requirements for medical devices and assessed all of them as successfully met.

The Medical Device Regulation (MDR) is the process put in place by the European Union with the objective of creating a modern and robust legal framework for medical devices with a high level of patient safety and health protection. Over the past two years, seca has set up an extensive business project in order to implement these rules. “As a global company we are present in many different markets. We are thus subject to global standards that we are obliged to follow throughout the entire development and manufacturing process and must reflect in our quality management system,” says Mark Sonnenkalb, Head of Quality Services at seca. “This has enabled us to react swiftly and in a focused manner to the new EU regulation and therefore, we have integrated it successfully into our processes.”

In addition to MDR certification, seca has also met the requirements of the MDSAP (Medical Device Single Audit Program). This program defines a common standard for regulatory quality management audits at medical device manufacturers and satisfies the national requirements of the USA, Canada, Australia, Japan and Brazil.
