  • Dental burs

    MDR does not have the term critical or semi-critical. All medical devices must be in one of the classes as described in Annex 8 - Classification rules. If I understand your device correctly, it is a reusable medical device, therefore class Ir. According to the definition, a reusable surgical instrument means an instrument intended for surgical use in cutting, drilling, sawing, scratching, scraping, clamping, retracting, clipping, or similar procedures, without a connection to an active device and which is intended by the manufacturer to be reused after appropriate procedures such as cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization have been carried out.  

    Rule 6 is the rule that covers reusable medical devices, which states that all surgically invasive devices intended for transient use are classified as class IIa unless they are reusable surgical instruments, in which case they are classified as class I. 

    Reusable devices must be sterile before use. It must be sterilized, and it can be kept in the holder for a certain amount of time. How much time depends on the type of sterilization, disinfection used, a method for preparing the sterilization, and so on. Usually, this time that is allowed for instruments to be stored after the sterilization is defined by the sterilization validation process.

    Instruments can be packed individually or for example a set for a certain procedure.

    • ISO 27001 implementation requirement

      First is important to note that ISO 27001 does not specify the PDCA cycle.

      Please note that the best practice is to consider Risk assessment as part of the Plan phase, since its main objective is to identify and prioritized relevant risks to be treated, so you can plan why controls to implement.

      In the Do phase, you implement and operates the controls.

      This article will provide you a further explanation about ISO 27001 and PDCA cycle:

    • Can private hardware used for business purposes be excluded from the scope?

      ISO 27001/ISO 27017/ISO 27018 allow the usage of private hardware, and you can exclude this hardware from the ISMS scope - this is pretty common in companies that have remote workers. 

      Once you specify in your ISMS scope document that private hardware is out of the scope, you need to ensure compliance with security rules by signing agreements with workers that use such hardware where you will specify specific security rules for using such hardware.

      In your toolkit, you will find the document "Security clauses for suppliers and partners" in folder 08 Annex A Security Controls - A.15 Supplier relationships - you can use clauses from this document in the agreement with your workers.

    • Device asset tracking

      ISO 27001 does not prescribe information to be used to track an asset, so organizations can define the information they see best fits their needs.

      In general, for tracking an asset you should consider information that is unique for each asset, and the serial number information fits these criteria, so it is a good choice for tracking information.

      This article will provide you with a further explanation of asset management:

    • Creating, reviewing, and approving documents

      Except by the top-level Information Security Policy, which is required to be approved by top management, ISO 27001 does not prescribe who needs to create, review, and approve documents for ISO 27001, so organizations can define these roles as best they fit their needs.

      Considering that, operationally speaking, you can justify that the reduction of the number of signatories will make the approval process more efficient.

      Good practice is that one person from the top management approves the document, and a couple of relevant people review the document before it is approved - this makes the process faster, and the documents better.

    • Risk re-evaluation processes Risk Treatment and Annex A controls

      In the situation where you review the risks (i.e., the ISMS is already fully implemented), you need to go through your Risk assessment table and Risk treatment table and conclude if there are any new risks and/or new controls that need to be addressed - if yes, you need to update these documents, and also reflect this change in the Statement of Applicability. If there are no new risks, you need to document this fact, the best way to do this is to inform the top management at the next management review so that this is recorded in the Management review minutes.
