Having regard to the proposal from the Commission

依据执委会的建议案

In cooperation with the European Parliament

配合欧洲议会

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee,

依据经济暨社会委员会的意见

Whereas measures should be adopted in the context of the internal market; whereas the internal market is an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital is ensured;

鉴于内部市场之完成应采取一些措施; 鉴于内部市场是一无内部疆界之区域, 区域内之货品, 人员, 服务及资金应可自由流通

Whereas the content and scope of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions in force in the Member States with regard to the safety, health protection and performance characteristics of medical devices are different; whereas the certification and inspection procedures for such devices differ from one Member State to another; whereas such disparities constitute barriers to trade within the Community;

鉴于各会员国间现存有关医疗器材之安全, 对健康之保护及使用特性方面之法律, 法规及行政命令之内容与范围不尽相同; 鉴于各会员国对此器材之验证及检验程序也不相同; 鉴于前述之分歧将阻碍共同体内的贸易活动;

Whereas the national provisions for the safety and health protection of patients, users and, where appropriate, other persons, with regard to the use of medical devices should be harmonized in order to guarantee the free movement of such devices within the internal markert;

鉴于医疗器械之使用对病患, 使用者, 甚至其他人有关安全及健康保护的相关国家规定应加以调和, 以保证此类器材在内部市场能自由流通;

Whereas the harmonized provisions must be distinguished from the measures adopted by the Member States to manage the funding of public health and sickness insurance schemes relating directly or indirectly to such devices; whereas, therefore, the provisions do not affect the ability of the Member States to implement the abovementioned measures provided Community law is complied with;

鉴于调和之规定必然与各会员国采取之部分措施有所不同, 这些措施是为筹措公共健康与疾病保险计划之基金, 且直接或间接与医疗器材有关; 鉴于共同体若与上述措施相符, 则这些规定并不影响会员国落实上述措施的能力;

Whereas medical devices should provide patients, users and third parties with a high level of protection and attain the performance levels attributed to them by the manufacturer; whereas, therefore, the maintenance or improvement of the level of protection attained in the Member States is one of the essential objectives of this Directive;

鉴于医疗器材应提供病患, 使用者及第三者高度之保护, 且应该达到厂商所要求之性能水准; 鉴于维持或改进各会员国对病患等保护的程度乃本指令目的之一;

Whereas certain medical devices are intended to administer medicinal products within the meaning of Council Directive 65/65/EEC of 26 January 1965 on the approximation of provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action relating to proprietary medicinal products; whereas, in such cases, the placing on the market of the medical device as a general rule is governed by the present Directive and the placing on the market of the medicinal product is governed by Directive 65/65/EEC; whereas if, however, such a device is placed on the market in such a way that the device and the medicinal product form a single integral unit which is intended exclusively for use in the given combination and which is not reusable, that single-unit product shall be governed by Directive 65/65/EEC; whereas a distinction must be drawn between the abovementioned devices and medical devices incorporating, inter alia, substances which, if used separately, may be considered to be a medicinal substance within the meaning of Directive 65/65/EEC; whereas in such cases, if the substances incorporated in the medical devices are liable to act upon the body with action ancillary to that of the device, the placing of the devices on the market is governed by this Directive; whereas, in this context, the safety, quality and usefulness of the substances must be verified by analogy with the appropriate methods specified in Council Directive 75/318/EEC of 20 May 1975 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to analytical, pharmaco-toxicological and clinical standards and protocols in respect of the testing of proprietary medicinal products;

鉴于部分医疗器材是符合1965年1月26日理事会第65/65/EEC号指令, 与专卖医药产品有关之法律, 法规或管理行为所订之实施规定, 鉴于医疗器材之上市基本上由本指令规范, 但医疗产品之上市则受65/65/EEC号指令规范; 鉴于若有某种器材须与其他医疗产品组成一完整的产品而上市销售, 使用, 且无法二次使用时, 则该组合产品应受65/65/EEC 号指令规范; 鉴于前述之医疗器材和包含医疗物质且该物质单独使用时符合65/65/EEC号指令规定之医疗器材应加以区别; 鉴于前述包含于医疗器材之医疗物质若对人体产生作用以辅助医疗器材之作用时, 则该医疗器材之上市应由本指令规范; 鉴于1975年5月20日75/318/EEC号理事会指令[制定各会员国在测试专利医疗产品方面有关分析药物毒性和临床之标准及调查书的法律调和], 医疗物质之安全, 品质及效用在前述情况下则须依该指令明定之适当方法加以证实;

Whereas the essential requirements and other requirements set out in the Annexes to this Directive, including any reference to 'minimizing' or 'reducing' risk must be interpreted and applied in such a way as to take account of technology and practice existing at the time of design and of technical and economical considerations compatible with a high level of protection of health and safety;

鉴于本指令附件所订之基本要求及其他要求, 包括[最低]或[降低]危险部分之应用, 应考虑设计当时之科技及实施情形, 并在符合健康和安全高度保护的原则下考虑技术及经济的因素;

Whereas, in accordance with the principles set out in the Council resolution of 7 May 1985 concerning a new approach to technical harmonization and standardization, rules regarding the design and manufacture of medical devices must be confined to the provisions required to meet the essential requirements; whereas, because they are essential, such requirements should replace the corresponding national provisions;

鉴于为符合1985年5月7日理事会决议中有关技术调和与标准化新方针所订定的原则, 有关医疗器材之设计及执照应遵守相关条款以符合基本要求; 鉴于这些要求属基本要求, 所以应取代对应之国家规定;

whereas the essential requirements should be applied with discretion to take account of the technological level existing at the time of design and of technical and economic considerations compatible with a high level of protection of health and safety;

鉴于基本要求之落实应谨慎考虑设计当时之科技水准, 并在符合健康和安全高度保护的原则下考虑技术及经济的因素;

Whereas Council Directive 90/385/EEC of 20 June 1990 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to active implantable medical devices is the first case of application of the new approach to the field of medical devices; whereas in the interest of uniform Community rules applicable to all medical devices, this Directive

is based largely on the provisions of Directive 90/385/EEC; whereas for the same reasons Directive 90/385/EEC must be amended to insert the general provisions laid down in this Directive;

鉴于1990年6月20日通过的90/385/EEC号[各会员国有关主动植入式医疗器材法律调和] 之理事会指令是第一个应用在医疗器材方面的新方法指令; 鉴于为使共同体规定适用于所有的医疗器材, 本指令基本上是以90/385/EEC号指令的条款为依据; 鉴于90/385/EEC号指令,因此也必须增加本指令所列之一般条款的部分;

Whereas the electromagnetic compatibility aspects form an integral part of the safety of medical devices; whereas this Directive should contain specific rules on this subject with regard to Council Directive 89/336/EEC of 3 May 1989 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility;

鉴于医疗器材的电磁相容性是整个产品安全的一部分; 鉴于本指令因此须包括1989年5月3日89/336/EEC号[各会员国有关电磁相容性法律调和]之理事会指令中所制订的特定规定;

Whereas this Directive should include requirements regarding the design and manufacture of devices emitting ionizing radiation; whereas this Directive does not affect the authorization required by Council Directive 80/836/Euratom of 15 July 1980 amending the Directives laying down the basic safety standards for the health protection of the general public and workers against the dangers of ionizing radiation, nor application of Council Directive 84/466/Euratom of 3 September 1984 laying down basic measures for the radiation protection of persons undergoing medical examination or treatment; whereas Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work and the specific directives on the same subject should continue to apply;

鉴于本指令应包含释放电离辐射医疗器材设计及制造的相关要求; 鉴于本指令不影响1980年7月15日80/836/Euratom 理事会指令所需要的授权, 该指令目的在修订为保护大众及工作人员健康, 防止电离辐射危险而制订基本安全标准之其他指令; 本指令亦不影响1984年9月3日84/466/Euratom号[制订保护人员在医疗检查或治疗中不受辐射影响之基本方法] 理事会指令之适用; 鉴于1989年6月12日89/391/EEC号理事会指令[鼓励改善工作场所中工人之安全与健康]及其他相关主题之指令应持续适用;

Whereas, in order to demonstrate conformity with the essential requirements and to enable conformity to be verified, it is desirable to have harmonized European standards to protect against the risks associated with the design, manufacture and packaging of medical devices; whereas such harmonized European standards are drawn up by private-law bodies and should retain their status as non-mandatory texts; whereas, to this end, the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (Cenelec) are recognized as the competent bodies for the adoption of harmonized standards in accordance with the general guidelines on cooperation between the Commission and these two bodies signed on 13 November 1984;

鉴于为证明符合基本要求并使该符合性得以落实, 有必要建立调和之欧洲标准, 以避免医疗器材在设计, 制造及包装上所可能带来的危险, 鉴于调和之欧洲标准由私人立法机构制订, 而且应维持自愿性质; 鉴于欧洲标准化委员会(CEN) 及欧洲电工标准化委员会(CENELEC) 被认为是制订调和标准有能力的团体(competent bodies),而此标准符合1984年11月13日执委会与上述两团体所签订的合作纲要为基础的一般指导原则;

Whereas, for the purpose of this Directive, a harmonized standard is a technical specification (European standard or harmonization document) adopted, on a mandate from the Commission, by either or both of these bodies in accordance with Council Directive 83/189/EEC of 28 March 1983 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations, and pursuant to the abovementioned general guidelines; whereas with regard to possible amendment of the harmonized standards, the Commission should be assisted by the Committee set up pursuant to Directive 83/189/EEC; whereas the measures to be taken must be defined in line with procedure I, as laid down in Council Decision 87/373/EEC; whereas, for specific fields, what already exists in the form of European Pharmacopoeia monographs should be incorporated within the framework of this Directive; whereas, therefore, several European Pharmacopoeia monographs may be considered equal to the abovementioned harmonized standards;

鉴于为达本指令目的, 调和标准是前述机构接获理事会命令后, 依理事会1983年3月28日通过之83/189/EEC号指令[有关制订技术标准及法规资讯提供的程序]而采纳的技术规范(欧洲标准或调和文件, 符合前述一般纲要的规定 ; 鉴

于调和标准的修正有赖于83/189/EE号指令建立的委员会的协助; 鉴于应采取的措施须依照理事会87/378/EEC号指令程序一的规定; 鉴于特殊领域中现存之欧洲药典专题论文应纳入本指令的架构中; 因此数篇欧洲药典专题论文将视其与前述调和标准有着同等的效力;

Whereas, in Decision 90/683/EEC of 13 December 1990 concerning the modules for the various phases of the conformity assessment procedures which are intended to be used in the technical harmonization directives, the Council has laid down harmonized conformity assessment procedures; whereas the application of these modules to medical devices enables the responsibility of manufacturers and notified bodies to be determined during conformity assessment procedures on the basis of the type of devices concerned; whereas the details added to these modules are justified by the nature of the verification required for medical devices;

鉴于理事会在1990年12月13日通过的90/683/EEC号[有关技术调和指令适用之符合评鉴程序各阶段模式]决定中制定调和的符合评鉴程序; 鉴于这些模式于医疗器材之应用, 可以依相关器材之型式决定制造商及公告机构在符合评鉴程序中应负的责任; 鉴于医疗器材的证明有必要在模式里增加细节的规定;

Whereas it is necessary, essentially for the purpose of the conformity assessment procedures, to group the devices into four product classes; whereas the classification rules are based on the vulnerability of the human body taking account of the potential risks associated with the technical design and manufacture of the devices; whereas the conformity assessment procedures for Class I devices can be carried out, as a general rule, under the sole responsibility of the manufacturers in view of the low level of vulnerability associated with these products; whereas, for Class IIa devices, the intervention of a notified body should be compulsory at the production stage; whereas, for devices falling within Classes IIb and III which constitute a high risk potential, inspection by a notified body is required with regard to the design and manufacture of the devices; whereas Class III is set aside for the most critical devices for which explicit prior authorization with regard to conformity is required for them to be placed on the market;

鉴于为达到符合评鉴的目的有必要将医疗器材分为四类; 鉴于分类是以考虑器材之技术设计及制造对易受伤的人体可能带来的危险程度为原则; 鉴于第I类医疗器材对人体可能产生的伤害较轻微, 其符合性评鉴程序大致可由制造商完全负责执行; 鉴于对第II(a)类医疗器材而言, 在生产阶段时公告机构的介入应属强制性质; 鉴于属于第II(b)类及第III类之医疗器材对人体具有较高的潜在危险, 因此在器材的设计及制造阶段必须有公告机构的检验; 鉴于第III类的器材皆为较特别的器材, 其一致性需在上市之前获得明确授权;

Whereas in cases where the conformity of the devices can be assessed under the responsibility of the manufacturer the competent authorities must be able, particularly in emergencies, to contact a person responsible for placing the device on the market and established in the Community, whether the manufacturer or another person established in the Community and designated by the manufacturer for the purpose;

鉴于器材之一致性如能由制造商负责评鉴, 相关主管机关, 特别是紧急状况时, 应能联络到一位设于共同体内负责将器材在市场上销售之人员, 该人员可以是制造商本人或其他设于共同体内经制造商授权的人员;

Whereas medical devices should, as a general rule, bear the CE mark to indicate their conformity with the provisions of this Directive to enable them to move freely within the Community and to be put into service in accordance with their intended purpose;

鉴于医疗器材应附加CE标志, 表示其符合本指令的条款, 而得以在共同体市场上自由流通并依其设计的目的使用;

Whereas, in the fight against AIDS and in the light of the conclusions of the Council adopted on 16 May 1989 regarding future activities on AIDS prevention and control at Community level, medical devices used for protection against the HIV virus must afford a high level of protection; whereas the design and manufacture of such products should be verified by a notified body;

鉴于为抵抗爱滋病, 并顾及理事会于1989年5月16日采纳有关共同体层次未来防止暨控制爱滋病相关活动的结论, 用于防止HIV病毒感染的医疗器材应提供人体高度的保护; 此类产品的设计及制造应由公告机构的证实;

Whereas the classification rules generally enable medical devices to be appropriately classified; whereas, in view of the diverse nature of the devices and technological progress in this field, steps must be taken to include amongst

the implementing powers conferred on the Commission the decisions to be taken with regard to the proper classification or reclassification of the devices or, where appropriate, the adjustment of the classification rules themselves; whereas since these issues are closely connected with the protection of health, it is appropriate that these decisions should come under procedure IIIa, as provided for in Directive 87/373/EEC;

鉴于前述的分类原则大多可以适当地将医疗器材分类; 鉴于医疗器材性质及相关领域技术进步之性质各异, 因此必须采取一些措施以决定授予执委会的执行权力及有关器材的分类或再分类, 或者于适当时调整分类的原则; 鉴于上述的问题与人员健康的保护有着密切的关联, 因此这些决议应依照87/373/EEC号指令程序IIIa规定;

Whereas the confirmation of complicance with the essential requirements may mean that clinical investigations have to be carried out under the responsibility of the manufacturer; whereas, for the purpose of carrying out the clinical investigations, appropriate means have to be specified for the protection of public health and public order;

鉴于制造商有责任执行临床调查以证明其医疗器材符合安全要求; 因此为保证大众健康及秩序应明订执行临床调查的适当方法;

Whereas the protection of health and the associated controls may be made more effective by means of medical device vigilance systems which are integrated at Community level;

鉴于健康的保护及相关的管制方法以在共同体层次上建立一个医疗装置警戒系统为最有效;

Whereas this Directive covers the medical devices referred to in Council Directive 76/764/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States on clinical mercury-in-glass, maximum reading thermometers; whereas the abovementioned Directive must therefore be repealed; whereas for the same reasons Council Directive 84/539/EEC on 17 September 1984 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to electro-medical equipment used in human or veterinary medicine must be amended,

鉴于理事会于1976年7月27日通过76/764/EEC号[有关各会员国水银玻璃最高温度计法律调和] 之指令中所提及的医疗器材亦受本指令规范; 前述指令因此必须撤销;基于同样原因, 理事会1984年9月17日通过之84/539/EEC号指令[有关各会员国人类或动物医疗使用之电动医疗器材法律调和],

HAS ADOPTED THIS DlRECTIVE:

the essential requirements referred to in Article 3 must bear the CE marking of conformity when they are placed on the market.

除订制或临床调查用之器材外, 符合第三条基本要求的器材应于上市时附加CE符合标示.

2. The CE marking of conformity, as shown in Annex XIl, must appear in a visible, legible and indelible form on the

device or its sterile pack, where practicable and appropriate, and on the instructions for use. Where applicable, the CE marking must also appear on the sales packaging.

CE符合标示, 如附件十二所示, 应以明显易见且不易磨损的方式附加于器材本体或包装之适当位置; 如果可行, 亦应附加于使用说明上及销售的包装上.

It shall be accompanied by the identification number of the notified body responsible for implementation of the procedures set out in Annexes II, IV, V and VI.

CE符合标示后应有负责执行附件二, 四, 五及六所述程序之公告机构的识别号码.

3. It is prohibited to affix marks or inscriptions which are likely to mislead third parties with regard to the meaning

or the graphics of the CE marking. Any other mark may be affixed to the device, to the packaging or to the instruction leaflet accompanying the device provided that the visibility and legibility of the CE marking is not thereby reduced.

器材上应禁止附加任何在形式及意义上易与CE标示造成混淆而有欺瞒第三者之虞的标志或说明. 其余的标志在不影响CE标示的可见度及清晰度的情况下, 即可附加于器材上, 其包装上或附随器材的说明文件上.
