Impact Assessment of the new EU Regulations on Medical Equipment for neuroendoscopy Survey

The new EU regulations pose challenges to the certification landscape for medical equipment, particularly in neuroendoscopy. It has come to our attention that some key producers have not yet applied for the new, stricter CE mark, causing concerns within our specialty, as it may potentially lead to limitations in our access to essential endoscopy equipment.

Via this survey, the EANS aims to assess the impact on our members, understand the scale of the problem, and possibly set a course of actions towards its resolution.
