New to the cove so apologies for a potential repost/topic thread
I have not been able to arrive at a conclusion regarding if the "non-sterile" icon should be applied to the primary packaging of a Class 1 medical device (multi use, dental application) which is delivered non sterile but requires a sterilization process prior to use.
The instructions for use [IFU] contains specific sterilization instructions however.
The product is sold "world wide".
According to MDD 93/42/EEC:
Section 8.6 address packaging system requirements.
Section 8.7. stipulates that the packaging and/or label must distinguish between identical or similar products sold in both sterile and non-sterile condition - which make perfect sense.
However, given the requirement of prior-use sterilization its seems like a good idea to do... but are the rules i have missed?
I have seen examples of with and with out the symbol on similar competitor products.
Any feedback would be highly appreciated
