REQUIREMENTS OF THE MDD 93/42/EEC
The MDD calls for the comprehensive docu-
mentation of the whereabouts of medical pro-
ducts that are applied in human beings, es-
pecially the whereabouts of implants. For this
reason, the individual identification numbers of
any implanted valves are to be noted in pati-
ents' records, so that in the event of any inqui-
ries, the implant can be traced without any diffi-
culties. Each valve is outfitted with a sticker for
this purpose. Translations of these instructions
for use into additional languages can be found
on our website:
