The European Union’s regulatory environment for medical devices focuses on patient safety.
In this environment, a Notified Body is not just a ‘testing service provider’, but an independent guarantor that technical innovation, clinical evidence and regulatory compliance are combined in a robust and legally secure conformity assessment procedure that prioritises patient safety.
QMD Services is the only Austrian Notified Body to cover both Regulation (EU) 2017/746 (IVDR) and Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR).
It’s in our DNA that medical device innovation alone is not enough.
It is innovation paired with safety that yields us the results that make our hearts sing.
At QMD Services, we strive to create more than just certificates. We contribute to the safety of your medical devices, always with the patient and user in mind.
