Medical-device documentation, traceability & vigilance.

Instrument: Regulation, legally binding in the EUApplies to: Medical-device & IVD manufacturers (EU). Built · MDR 2021 / IVDR 2022

What the signed record shows

Device-record, UDI/traceability, and serious-incident detail for medical-device makers.

The proof is a signed, tamper-evident record. Anyone can check it, without an account, and nothing has to leave the building to make it. Evidence, not a promise.

What to do about it

Keep the evidence this asks for, as the work happens.

A consequential AI-proposed action is checked against the human authority in force at that moment, and the decision leaves a signed record that a third party can verify independently, offline, without Regulayer™. It runs inside your own environment and nothing has to leave it.
