the quality and safety of the medical product when using it in accordance with the purpose provided for by the manufacturer's
documentation.
When evaluating and analyzing data, it is carried out:
a) analysis of data of technical literature and information related to safety, operational and specifications, as well as to
the prescribed use of the medical product;
b) analysis of the results of the tests of the medical product test;
c) Analysis of the conditions for the production of a
medical product.
When conducting technical tests:
a) identification of the medical product;
b) definition and coordination with
the applicant of the type of medical product and the class of potential risk of using a medical product in accordance with the
nomenclature classification of medical devices approved by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation;
c) analysis of the technical documentation of the manufacturer on the medical product;
d) compiling technical testing programs (when conducting tests);
e) test of samples (sample) of the medical product (when

completeness and adequacy requirements that ensure the quality and
safety of the medical product;
compliance with the requirements set forth in the manufacturer's technical documentation for a
medical product, the requirements of applicable national (international) standards;

c) completeness and objectivity of the manufacturer of characteristics to be monitored in technical documentation to be
controlled during technical testing, as well as test methods;
d) the possibility of using the manufacturer's operational documentation when applying a medical product for its intended
purpose;
e) the quality of the medical product and the safety of its use.
The cost of technical testing depends on:
a) the risk of the use of the medical product;
b) the appointment of a medical product;
c) the number of execution of samples declared in the manufacturer's technical documentation (manufacturer);
d) methods of testing medical products.
