Executive Summary
The latest text of the European Commission's draft proposal revising the MDD reinforces the need for manufacturers to justify the claims that their devices are for single-use only (SUDs). Industry has called for a ban on the reprocessing of SUDs within the context of the review. Although such a clause places the onus of the manufacturer to ensure that the single-use claim is thoroughly justified, sources close to be Commission have indicated that the only other alternative would have been to allow SUDs to be reprocessed.
