EUDAMED Rollout Delay: What It Means for Medical Device Manufacturers

Jul 8, 2025 | Medical Devices, Unique Device Identification

The European Commission (EC) has missed a key milestone in the rollout of EUDAMED, the central database for medical devices in the EU. According to the previously published timeline, EUDAMED was expected to be declared “fully functional” by July 1, 2025. However, with that date now passed and no notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU), the official timeline remains unmet. 

EUDAMED Timeline Status: Still Waiting for an Update

Despite the delay, the EC has not yet released a revised version of the EUDAMED Rollout Timeline. As of now, the most recent published version still reflects the original deadlines. Stakeholders should stay alert for an official communication or schedule update from the EC in the coming weeks. 

Original Timeline (As Published):

Expected “Fully Functional” declaration: July 1, 2025
Start of mandatory use for four key modules: Based on the six-month transition period following the fully functional notice. 

Updated Expectations: A Three-Month Shift 

While there is no formal announcement yet, industry sources suggest the launch of the first four mandatory EUDAMED modules may be delayed by approximately three months. This would impact the timeline for key reporting obligations, including: 

  • Mandatory UDI Reporting
    New expected start date: March 31, 2026
    New expected end date: September 30, 2026 

Revised (Expected) Rollout Timing:

The delay could adjust the entire cascade of EUDAMED compliance steps, pushing regulatory planning and IT integration forward accordingly.
