欧盟划分医疗器械产品风险登记的原则是从医疗器械之设计及制造对人体可能带来的危险程度来进行考量的。目前医疗器械的大类分为医疗器械一、二、三类产品，但由于二类产品又分出了不同的子类，实际上可将医疗器械分为以下4类:
①Class I低风险 (Low risk) ，其中 Is、Im、Ir类：灭菌器械（s）、带测量功能器械（m）、重复使用外科器械（r）
②Class IIa低到中风险 (Low to medium risk) ，包括普通非植入器械和普通植入器械。
③Class IIb中风险 (Medium risk)，包括技术成熟的植入器械和技术不成熟的植入器械、植入器械、MDR附录VIII第12条规定的器械。
④Class III高风险 (High risk) ，包括特殊非植入器械和特殊植入器械、MDR附录VIII第21条规定的器械。
The EU's principle of classifying medical device product riskregistration is to consider the possible risks to human body causedby the design and manufacture of medical devices. At present, themajor categories of medical devices are divided into Class I, IIand III products. However, since Class II products are divided intodifferent subcategories, medical devices can actually be dividedinto the following four categories:
① Class I Low risk, including Is, Im, Ir: sterilized instruments(s), instruments with measuring function (m), and reusable surgicalinstruments (r)
② Class IIa is low to medium risk, including ordinary nonimplant devices and ordinary implant devices.
③ Medium risk in Class IIb includes implant devices with maturetechnology and implant devices with immature technology, implantdevices, and devices specified in Article 12 of MDR AppendixVIII.
④ Class III high risk, including special non implant devices andspecial implant devices, and devices specified in Article 21 of MDRAppendix VIII.
