What is a Medical Device Advisor?

A medical device advisor is a person who professionally informs healthcare professionals about medical devices or instructs them in their proper use. According to Section 83 of the Medical Devices Implementation Act (MPDG), such an activity may only be carried out if the consultant has the expertise and experience required for the respective medical devices to provide information and, if necessary, to instruct in the handling of the respective medical devices.

Who is allowed to work as a Medical Device Advisor?

Anyone who

1. has successfully completed education in a scientific, medical, technical or IT-commercial profession and has been trained in relation to the respective medical devices or

2. has acquired experience in providing information on the medical devices in question and, where necessary, in instructing them in their use, by working for at least one year, which may be shorter in justified cases.

The medical devices advisor must keep up to date with the latest state of knowledge about the respective medical devices in order to be able to give expert advice. In addition, he or she must prove expertise to the competent authority upon request. Regular training is therefore required.

Our e-learning provides you with the information you need for your day-to-day work. With our certificate, you have the necessary proof for the medical device advisor according to 83 MPDG.
