What Does AIMDD Stand For?

AIMDD stands for Active Implantable Medical Device Directive

The Active Implantable Medical Device Directive (AIMDD) is a regulatory framework established by the European Union to ensure the safety and effectiveness of active implantable medical devices. This directive sets standards for the design, manufacturing, and clinical evaluation of devices that are intended to be implanted in the human body and actively control their functions, such as pacemakers and neurostimulators. AIMDD aims to protect patient health and promote innovation while facilitating market access within the EU. Compliance with AIMDD ensures that devices are rigorously tested and meet essential safety and performance criteria before entering the market.
