Navigating the Updates: MDCG 2019-11 Rev.1 – Implications for Medical Software Manufacturers

In June 2025, the European Commission published Rev.1 of MDCG 2019-11, updating critical guidance on the qualification and classification of Medical Device Software (MDSW) under Regulations (EU) 2017/745 (MDR) and 2017/746 (IVDR). This revision introduces more granular criteria, refined classification logic, and clearer documentation expectations. This white paper outlines the major revisions and offers a compliance-oriented action plan for software developers and regulatory affairs professionals.
