The EC currently has an open survey on EUDAMED preparedness. MedTech Europe have highlighted the absence of adequate documents in the following areas. If you would like to respond to the EC survey, please see the link below, and the list of items that MedTech Europe has identified, but could do with other survey respondents also highlighting.

Should you wish to echo any of the listed missing onboarding materials, you are still welcome to send your input to the survey: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/68bc98d4-aad1-f53a-5736-1739141ff3d3
