Editorial Policy

Editorial Policy

MedDeviceGuide publishes practical medical device and IVD guidance for regulatory, quality, clinical, and commercial teams.

Last updated: 2026-06-03

Source Led

We prioritize official regulatory, standards-body, government, and primary-source materials.

Reviewed Dates

Guides should show when they were published and, when reviewed or revised, when they were last updated.

Clear Limits

Our articles are educational resources, not legal, regulatory, clinical, or professional advice.

Editorial Standards

MedDeviceGuide articles should explain what a professional needs to know, where the information comes from, and which assumptions or limitations matter. We aim to distinguish official requirements from interpretation, implementation advice, estimates, and market commentary.

Sources

Regulatory and compliance articles should rely on official sources wherever possible, including regulator pages, legal texts, guidance documents, standards organizations, public fee schedules, government notices, and official databases. When we use non-official sources, such as consultancy benchmarks, trade publications, company materials, or proprietary research, the article should identify the type of source and explain why it is relevant.

Dates And Updates

Articles should include an authored publication date. When the article has been substantively reviewed or revised, the authored updated date should be used as the last-reviewed and modified date. If no separate updated date exists, the publication date may be used as the fallback. Build time or the current runtime date should not be used to imply review.

Pricing And Registration Data

Registration-price and fee articles should disclose whether figures come from official authority fees, public provider pricing, third-party estimates, exchange-rate conversion, or MedDeviceGuide analysis. Articles should separate government fees from consulting, local representative, testing, translation, notified body, and other implementation costs when that distinction is material.

Corrections

Medical device requirements change. If a reader identifies a material error, outdated requirement, broken source, or unclear assumption, we review the issue and update the article where appropriate.
