Healthcare Policies and Regulatory Landscape for Single-Use Endoscopes Market in Europe

Single-Use Endoscopes in Europe: rules and payment

In the EU, medical devices need CE marking under the Medical Device Regulation (MDR); for most devices, an independent notified body checks them first.⁠[1] In the countries we cover here, medical devices are regulated by ANSM (France)⁠[2], BfArM (Germany)⁠[3], Ministry of Health (Italy)⁠[4], Roszdravnadzor (Russia)⁠[5], AEMPS (Spain)⁠[6] and MHRA (UK)⁠[7]. Each country runs its own health system and decides prices and reimbursement; since January 2025, EU countries also share joint clinical assessments of some new medicines.⁠[8]
