For medical device manufacturers and regulatory advisors, the AI Act has significant implications:
Medical device manufacturers should proactively integrate AI Act requirements into their existing quality management systems to ensure compliance within the stipulated timelines. Early engagement with notified bodies and updating contracts with economic operators to encompass AI Act obligations are crucial steps in this process.

- Classification as High-Risk: Medical devices incorporating AI are generally deemed high-risk due to their potential impact on patient health and safety. Consequently, these devices must comply with stringent requirements, including:
- Quality Management System (QMS): Implementing a QMS that addresses risk management, data governance, technical documentation, data logging, labeling, design for accuracy, robustness, cybersecurity, and post-market monitoring.
- Conformity Assessment: Undergoing evaluation by a notified body designated for AI systems to ensure compliance before market entry.
- Economic Operators: Identifying roles such as authorized representatives, importers, and distributors, each with specific obligations under the AI Act.
- Post-Market Surveillance: Establishing systems for monitoring, incident reporting, and implementing corrective actions as necessary.
- Implementation Timeline:
- By August 2, 2025: Mandatory implementation of the QMS and identification of economic operators.
- By August 2, 2026: Full compliance with all AI Act requirements, including conformity assessments and post-market surveillance systems.
- Consequences of Non-Compliance: Failure to adhere to the AI Act can result in administrative fines up to 4% of annual worldwide turnover, withdrawal or recall of non-compliant AI systems, and liability for damages caused by such systems.
