01 Checks

What EryonOne checks, point by point

Six checks drawn from the French Public Health Code, Regulation (EU) 2017/745, ANSM doctrine and your own rules.

Advertising, and for whom

Material that promotes the use of a device is advertising, whatever its title. General public or healthcare professionals: the audience decides which statements are required.

Public Health Code L.5213-1

Mandatory statements

For the public: name, intended purpose, manufacturer, invitation to read the IFU, cautionary message, CE marking statement. For professionals: class, notified body, reimbursement status.

Public Health Code R.5213-1, R.5213-2

Every claim against the intended purpose

A claimed performance must fit within the intended purpose defined by the manufacturer and assessed for CE marking. Any use suggested beyond it is flagged.

MDR, Article 7

The notified body number

As soon as the material cites the CE marking of a device assessed by a notified body, that body's four-digit number must follow.

MDR, Article 20

Objectivity and cited sources

No miraculous results, no claim that there are no side effects. Quotations and scientific references are reproduced faithfully, with their exact source.

Public Health Code L.5213-2, R.5213-3

Your own rules

Approved claims matrix, editorial charter, glossary: uploaded as requirements, they are checked in the same pass as the official texts.

Your internal requirements
02 Common gaps

The gaps we find most often

On medical device material, the gap is rarely in the main message. It is in what is missing around it, or in an adjective added late.

An intended purpose widened by one adjective

The material suggests a broader use than the one assessed for CE marking, often through a word added in the last round: “all types”, “in every situation”.

MDR, Article 7

“CE marked”, with no notified body number

The headline cites the CE marking, but not the four-digit number of the notified body that must accompany it in any promotional material.

MDR, Article 20

A mandatory statement no one can read

The statement is there, on the back of the brochure or at the foot of the roll-up, in tiny type. The Code requires written statements to be perfectly legible.

Public Health Code R.5213-3

Class or reimbursement status left out

Material for healthcare professionals must state the device class and its reimbursement status under French health insurance.

Public Health Code R.5213-2

A reimbursed device advertised to the public

Advertising to the public is prohibited for devices reimbursed by French health insurance, except those on a list set by order. Perfectly written material is still prohibited.

Public Health Code L.5213-3

A variant that lost its date

Material is duplicated faster than it is corrected: a version carries an old intended purpose, or drops the date of issue the Code requires.

Public Health Code R.5213-1, R.5213-2

03 How it works

A review, end to end

The piece, its references, a few minutes, then your call. The example shows a finding as it appears in the report.

  1. 1You upload the piece and its references

    The piece as a PDF, with the IFU, the claimed intended purpose, the CE certificate and, if you have one, your claims matrix.

  2. 2You choose the frameworks and axes

    Device class, public or professional advertising, review axes. The price shows before launch: nothing is charged without your approval.

  3. 3EryonOne returns its findings

    Within minutes. Each finding quotes the passage, the source and the requirement at stake, with a confidence score.

  4. 4You decide

    Accept or dismiss each finding: the decision is kept, and the report exports for your regulatory affairs team.

04 Use cases

Use cases

Manufacturers preparing a congress booth: roll-ups, banners, brochures.

Marketing and regulatory teams rolling out a range across several classes or countries.

Healthcare communication agencies delivering compliant material to manufacturer clients.

05 Limits

An assistant, not an ANSM authorisation

EryonOne is an assistant, not a validator. It grants no advertising authorisation, and the decision to release stays with your regulatory affairs team. The report is working material.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions about this use case

Does my advertising need ANSM authorisation?
Only for certain devices presenting a significant risk, listed by the amended order of 24 September 2012: dermal fillers for the public; among others, implantable cardiac devices, coronary stents, breast implants, joint prostheses and surgical lasers for professionals. Everything else falls under ANSM's after-the-fact control.
Which material can be reviewed?
For now, review runs on PDF; Word and PowerPoint come next. Roll-ups, banners, brochures, product sheets, e-mailings, web pages or decks must therefore be provided as PDF.
Are in vitro diagnostic devices covered?
Yes. Their advertising falls under a separate chapter of the French Public Health Code (Articles L.5223-1 onwards) and Regulation (EU) 2017/746: the medical device grid cannot be reused as is.
Who makes the final decision?
Your regulatory affairs team. EryonOne spots and justifies each point; it does not approve material.
Can you review against our claims matrix?
Yes. Upload it as an internal requirement, with your charter or glossary: the findings that relate to it cite it, like an official text.
How much does a review cost?
The price depends on the number of pages, the axes you choose and, for the scientific axis, the number of references to check. It shows before every launch (pricing), and the first review of a new account is free.
Does my material stay confidential?
Yes. Documents are processed in France, in Roubaix, on a SecNumCloud-qualified OVHcloud offer, and are never used to train a model.
