EC adopts FAQ on the interplay between the MDR, IVDR and the AI Act
In June 2026, the Medical Device Coordination Group (MDCG) published MDCG 2025-6, a new Frequently Asked Questions document clarifying the interaction between the Medical Devices Regulation (MDR), the In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Regulation (IVDR), and the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act).
The FAQ offers practical clarification on how these regulatory frameworks complement one another and what this means for manufacturers of AI-enabled medical devices and in vitro diagnostic devices. It addresses key topics such as the scope of the legislation, conformity assessment procedures, the role of notified bodies, and the respective responsibilities under each framework.
This guidance marks an important milestone towards greater regulatory certainty, helping manufacturers better understand and prepare for compliance as AI becomes increasingly integrated into healthcare technologies.
