REALBIT TIPS

Key considerations for transitioning to eIFU

Regulatory compliance

Determine whether electronic IFUs are accepted for the type of products you manufacture and in the countries where you sell them. Anyhow, eIFU allows your customers to request a printed copy if needed, as required by regulations.
Our eIFU solution complies with EU Regulation (EU) 2017/745 and is provided with the necessary validation. Once you choose eIFU, the software is ready to use, and with the validation documents supplied by RealBit, you can confidently proceed with the certification process.

Evaluate your hardware solution

Check if your servers comply with regulations by downloading the brochure, or opt for the cloud solution. RealBit will provide a server configured according to the required standards for the medical industry.

Manage translations and customize the design

With eIFU, you can provide your customers with IFUs directly in their language or offer a single multilingual file. Customize the design of the client platform with colors, images, and videos to maintain your brand identity.

The Future of IFUs

An evolving regulatory landscape

The digitalization of Instructions for Use (IFU) is becoming increasingly prevalent in the medical device (MD) and in vitro diagnostic (IVD) manufacturing across Europe and worldwide. Regulatory authorities are focusing on monitoring the process to ensure benefits for the entire supply chain, from manufacturers to end users—while improving quality and sustainability compared to paper versions.

RealBit can support this transition by providing a software solution that is already validated according to the latest regulations (FDA & MDR) and certification-ready.

In this section, you will find the regulations and guidelines that eIFU complies with.

Regulation (EU) 2017/745 of April 5, 2017, on medical devices, amending Directive 2001/83/EC, Regulation (EC) No. 178/2002, and Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009, and repealing Council Directives 90/385/EEC and 93/42/EEC.

Regulation (EU) 2017/746 of April 5, 2017, on in vitro diagnostic medical devices, repealing Directive 98/79/EC and Commission Decision 2010/227/EU.
