Out of Compass v1 scope

Reprocessed single-use devices (Article 17)

Reprocessing of single-use devices falls under Article 17 — the reprocessor becomes the manufacturer and must comply with MDR as such, with additional national requirements that vary by Member State.

Recommended next step

Treat reprocessing as a new manufacture event under Article 17, complete a fresh conformity assessment, and consult national law (several Member States ban or restrict the practice).

Compass covers all MDR risk classes (I–III) under Annex II/III. These categories fall under a different regulatory regime, so we route you to the right resources instead of guessing.
