    Does anyone have experience with CE-marked IVD products outside of Europe, where the non-EU country has different regulatory requirements/standards that a manufacturer needs to comply with that will lead to differences in the labeling?

    E.g., the non-EU country require broader measuring ranges for the device than what the EU NB is willing to accept?

    The non-EU country has, at the same time, a requirement for homeland approval, which in my company is interpreted as the CE mark must be on the device.

    Any thoughts on how NB's looks at this?

    Hello Anon

    Some labeling differences would be innocuous; others much more significant.

    For example, if you wanted to claim to have NB approval for a degree of accuracy and precision in that extended range that the NB has already said is not supported by the evidence, I expect the NB would not be pleased, nor would the competent authority of the non-EU country.

    If you believe the device does meet the requirements of the non-EU country, maybe you could collect data to demonstrate that, to the satisfaction of the NB.
