Executive Summary
The Italian regulatory authority has advised the health service that it may purchase and use non-CE-marked medical devices, which were in the distribution chain before June 14, when the Medical Devices Directive became mandatory. The Italians have followed the recommendation made by the European Commission earlier in June, which said that such devices could be sold provided they were already in the distribution chain.
