    Hello, 
    I understand the module for UDI / device registration is now planned for 2026.  I am trying to find out if it will be possible to include the IVDR DoC when completing the registration in this module and if so, will it be voluntary / mandatory and publicly available? 

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello Anon,

    When you speak about date of UDI / device registration in 2026 this is when full compliance needs to be done; see recent timeline published by the European Commission https://health.ec.europa.eu/system/files/2022-07/md_eudamed_timeline_en.pdf.  The UDI / device registration module already exists today and can be used "voluntarily" - and I use the quotes very liberally as some expect it to be done now for EU MDR/EU IVDR registered products.  But yes it can be used voluntary basis and some fields, data, information, etc., are already available.  In regards to the Declaration of Conformity (DoC), this is supposed to be in the EUDAMED system where the company uploads the DoC for their products, but this is not there ... at least yet.  Even the current modules which are in place like Actor Registration and UDI/Device Registration is still being modified and adjusted.  We hopefully will be able to see a more finalised version in the next year toward end of 2023 - but as you can imagine with a new electronic system there will be adjustments made.

    Eudamed Module 2, UDI/Devices registration, is available for voluntary use; it has been since November 2021. The last time I looked at Module 2's requirements I did not see the DoC listed as one, unless these requirements have been updated. There may be an option to provide the DoC voluntarily. The EC provides extensive documents explaining the modules and their requirements as a good resource. The mandatory UDI compliance date is dependent on the device risk class.
