EU’s Electronic IFU Regulation Takes Effect March 30

April 9, 2012
Beginning March 1, 2013, devicemakers in the EU will have the option of providing electronic information for use (eIFU) to customers of certain groups of medical devices. The European Commission (EC) published the eIFU regulation March 10 and it went into force March 30 — concluding a nearly two-year effort to give devicemakers and users an alternative to the paper-only IFUs.
