As part of the gradual implementation and mandatory use of EUDAMED, the European Commission is organising a series of webinars in April and May 2026 to support economic operators in using the system.
EUDAMED, the European database on medical devices, is the IT system set up under Regulation (EU) 2017/745 on medical devices and Regulation (EU) 2017/746 on in vitro diagnostic medical devices.
EUDAMED provides an overview of the life cycle of medical devices available in the European Union. It integrates various electronic systems to collect and process information on medical devices. EUDAMED therefore aims to increase overall transparency, in particular by improving access to information for the public and healthcare professionals, and to step up coordination between different Member States in the European Union.
Decision (EU) 2025/2371, published on 27 November 2025, confirms the functionality of several EUDAMED modules. On that date, a six-month transition period. At the end of this period, as of 28 May 2026, the use of the following modules becomes mandatory:
• Actors;
• Unique device identification (UDI) and devices;
• Notified bodies and certificates;
• Market surveillance.
In this context, the European Commission is organising a series of webinars in April and May 2026 to support stakeholders in using the system. The aim of these presentations is to provide all involved actors (manufacturer, authorised representative, importer ...) with an overview of their obligations under Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR) and Regulation (EU) 2017/746 (IVDR), and to help them prepare for the mandatory use of the first EUDAMED modules, in particular through an introduction to the applicable regulatory framework.
