Person Responsible for Regulatory Compliance (PRRC)
A specialist focus of MediQuasar that provides clients with a strategic role for commercial, regulatory and reputational purposes.
An essential regulatory function for the safety, quality and compliance of medical devices
The role of Person Responsible for Regulatory Compliance (PRRC), introduced by the European Regulations MDR 2017/745 and IVDR 2017/746, is one of the most significant innovations within the new regulatory framework.
Every manufacturer, authorised representative or entity involved in placing medical devices and IVDs on the market must have—internally or through a qualified external professional—a person responsible for overseeing regulatory requirements and ensuring documentation compliance.
It is a high-responsibility technical and regulatory function, for which the European Union requires proven competence, qualifications and demonstrable experience—criteria met by only a limited number of professionals.
Why the PRRC is so important for companies
The presence of a PRRC is not a mere administrative formality, but a cornerstone of regulatory governance.
This role helps ensure that every device placed on the market:
- is supported by complete, up-to-date technical documentation;
- complies with the General Safety and Performance Requirements (GSPR);
- is backed by adequate evidence of safety, clinical performance and technical performance;
- is subject to a structured post-market surveillance process (PMS, PMCF);
- is managed in a compliant manner throughout its entire life cycle.
In practice, the PRRC acts as a guarantor of regulatory quality—helping to prevent commercial, regulatory and reputational risks.
