What's inside

Five pages, zero fluff

Every figure in this guide traces to a named source — regulatory guidance and verified 2026 publications.

The EU reporting clocks

Serious incidents, FSCA, and trend reporting — with the 2 / 10 / 15-day EU clocks and the documented PMS system.

The FDA contrast

30-day MDR reports, 5-day immediate-action reports, and Section 522 ordered surveillance — how the FDA differs.

What changes in 2026

MDCG 2025-10 is the playbook; the EUDAMED PMSV module is estimated for OJEU publication in Q4 2026.
