Labeling & IFU creation.
Compliant?
Clear?
Integrated?
Structured labeling for safe product approval.
The MDR and IVDR require complete, comprehensible and target group-oriented product labeling. At the same time, the UDI, language, list of symbols, intended use, safety information and product handling must be presented correctly and in a coordinated manner - both within the IFU and on the label itself.
We support you in the creation and review of labels and Instructions for Use (IFU), including translation into the required EU languages, GSPR chapter assignment and consistency checks with the technical documentation. We also provide support with symbol-based representation and integration into packaging, software or digital IFUs.
Whether for Class I products or complex systems - we bring structure to your labeling and ensure regulatory compliance.
We create regulatory-approved labels and IFUs - comprehensible, consistent and market-driven.
Clear processes for compliant product labeling.
Label design & symbolism.
- Testing and creation of labels according to MDR/IVDR
- Use of standardized symbols (e.g. ISO 15223-1, ISO 20417)
- UDI integration, language, warnings, manufacturer data
Creation & testing of IFUs.
- Structuring, translation and maintenance of instructions for use
- Coordination with technical documentation and GSPR
- Creation as a print or digital solution incl. access tracking
Process consulting & documentation.
- Establishment of regulated processes for release, versioning and responsibility
- Creation of SOPs, templates and test checklists
- System integration in PLM or QMS
Labeling in practice - how companies successfully implement labeling & IFUs.
Challenge.
A manufacturer wanted to have existing labels and IFUs checked for MDR conformity.Measures.
- GSPR comparison with the relevant labeling & safety requirements
- Review of symbolism, language, purpose & UDI integration
- Creation of a checklist for adjustments to the packaging and labeling system
Results.
- Corrections for CE marking, warnings and manufacturer information
- Improved user-friendliness of the IFU
- Proof of conformity documented for notified body
Success.
Avoidance of non-conformities and safe passage through the audit process.Challenge.
A manufacturer wanted to provide IFUs for a pan-European IVD product as a digital solution.Measures.
- Creation of the IFU in 24 EU languages with a list of symbols
- Implementation in web-based portal with UDI link
- Creation of a traceable access and version log
Results.
- Digitally auditable IFU structure according to MDR/IVDR
- User-safe navigation and language switching
- Less effort for updates
Success.
Future-proof IFU solution with reduced printing costs and international compliance.Challenge.
A medium-sized manufacturer wanted to document and systematize its labeling process.Measures.
- Definition of a regulated labeling workflow with release stages
- Creation of a labeling SOP incl. version management
- Connection to an existing PLM system for linking with product data
Results.
- Transparent and audit-proof process
- Avoidance of version conflicts during updates
- Audit capability proven
