Additional Information

For low-risk classes, no prior notified body approval is needed, except for sterile devices and reusable surgical instruments. Custom-made devices, systems, and procedure packs do not need CE marking, but must be approved by a notified body if they are not compatible or if the manufacturer wants to extend the use of their device to other indications.
