Hello Anonymous
Yes in Europe your Notified Body will require assessment of testing you have done on the device incorporating the radio, to meet RED. You should of course have access to your supplier's testing of the component to RED requirements.
Remember that FCC certification only covers the US. Almost every country has requirements for radio spectrum testing and labeling. In EU it is RED, in Canada, regulated under ICES. In Malaysia, testing to the MCMC mark, and Australia, RCM marking, etc..
Have a certified test lab assess and/or perform testing to the RED requirements. If you didn't alter the radio at all, and have some supplier Certifications, perhaps you can do less testing of the device with it integrated into the design. That is a "perhaps", but your test lab can help you assess that, including assessment of any safety concerns re: potential absorbance of the emissions. RED should included on your DoC, since it is a CE Marking Directive.
Good luck!

Hi there,
For a medical device that contains an off-the-shelf, FCC-certified bluetooth device, is a separate NB assessment against the Radio Equipment Directive and declaration of conformity to this Directive required in addition to MDR compliance?
Thanks for any guidance on this!
