The European Medical Device Nomenclature (EMDN) is the nomenclature of use by manufacturers when registering their medical devices in the EUDAMED database. Founded on pre-established criteria and requirements and based on orientations provided by the Medical Device Coordination Group (MDCG), the European Commission decided in favour of the use of the ‘Classificazione Nazionale Dispositivi medici’(CND) as the basis for the EMDN. Since its initial release in 2021, the EMDN has undergone annual updates through a public consultation process via the EMDN submission platform, in accordance with the procedures described inMDCG 2024-2 rev.1.
