Hi Everybody
Does anybody has experience with putting on EU market medical device for veterinary purposes?
I would like to enter the EU market with skaler - medical device using in getting ride of scale using ultrasound. I have read 84/539/EEC directive and all accompaning documents. My doubt is if I need any opinion of notified body (any technical, design or medical test) or can I prepare all documentation by myself (as for medical devices class I according to MDD).
I would be grateful for any comments.
Kind regards
Michael

The device in question is an ultrasound scaler (not skaler) that's used to remove dental plaque, and as far as I know, the devices used in veterinary applications are no different from those used by dental hygienists on humans. The question is, what are the EU requirements for veterinary medical devices? I don't know, and didn't have much luck Googling, but I suspect that if the devices meet the requirements for human applications, they'll also be OK for veterinary purposes.

Now I have read the directive too, that makes two of us:)

Given that it is regulated by an EU-directive then the product should be CE-marked. This means that you should follow the normal directions to obtaining a CE-mark for the products. You make need to get acquainted with EN61010, Machine safety.
