Service decision and evidence guide

EUDAMED sterility data: label-sterile and sterilise-before-use are separate fields

The acquired dictionary records labelled-sterile and need-for-sterilisation-before-use separately. Reconcile both against the supplied configuration and instructions; one flag does not establish the other or validate a sterilization process.

Evidence retrieved 2026-10-07. Source versions and topic-specific limits are listed below.

Dated technical/help evidence, not a complete legal duty set or live EUDAMED response. Current target-environment release, business rules, permissions and actual buyer records remain unresolved. Blank dictionary flags are unknown; occurrence and update notes keep their stated conditions. No credentials, registration deadline or completed production exchange is inferred.

Prepare the EUDAMED sterility data work package

Use this checklist to gather your business or product details before speaking with a specialist. The items below explain what to record and suggest useful supporting documents. You can add your own answers in the editable project brief.

  1. Identify each marketed configuration

    Separate sterile/nonsterile presentations and their actual identifier/label evidence.

    Useful evidence: A presentation-level DI and label inventory.

  2. Reconcile both sterility questions

    Record label-sterile status and preparation-before-use independently from current labels/instructions.

    Useful evidence: A two-field source-of-truth matrix with unresolved conflicts.

  3. Agree data corrections and evidence gaps

    Ask the registration provider to resolve inconsistent flags; commission separate validation work only if its need is justified.

    Useful evidence: A correction plan and any separately scoped validation questions.
