I'm making the following assumptions:
- when you say you want to market, you are saying you are going to manufacture.
- you are not based in Europe
- your surgical gowns and drapes are sterile
[*]Create a technical file, with the required information, including (but not limited to) demonstrating compliance with the essential requirements of Annex I of the above directive
[*]Appoint a notified body (Based in EU) an EC-rep and enter into an agreement with them (required because you are outside of the EU)
[/list]
This is a very simplistic overview; I would actually recommend finding a good EC-rep to start with as they will be able to guide you through the regulatory process as well as acting as an EC-rep.
It is important to note that notified bodies cannot act as consultants so will not be able to guide you
