The European Patients Forum (EPF) welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the targeted revision of the EU regulations for medical devices and in vitro diagnostic devices. The revision should focus on reducing unnecessary administrative burdens that do not contribute to patient safety, information, or transparency, while contributing to more equitable access to safe and effective devices for all patients.
