ESGE Survey on European Union Medical Device Regulation (MDR)

Securing access to endoscopy equipment in Europe ​

The ESGE is concerned about challenges in access and use of endoscopic devices and equipment due to the European Medical Device Regulation (MDR) legislation. MDR is now the law in the EU and in all associated countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway).

ESGE would like to know if European endoscopists are currently experiencing any difficulties in ordering or receiving delivery of endoscopic devices / equipment that they need for their endoscopic services. A survey, created by the ESGE Public Advocacy Committee, led by chair Prof Michael Bretthauer, has been designed to gather information.

Replies are crucial in ESGE’s work to ensure continued access to important endoscopic equipment. The survey will only take 3 to 4 minutes to answer and we thank everyone who makes the time to complete it.

The deadline to complete this survey is January 28, 2024.
