Common frustrations with eIFU.com
Teams weighing eIFU.com against a focused platform tend to raise the same points.
Built around enterprise labeling
eIFU.com comes from enLabel's label-automation suite, so eIFU can feel like one module within a much broader labeling platform rather than the core product.
Heavier than lean teams need
The enterprise orientation can mean more scope, setup and cost than a focused device team is looking for.
Project-based rollout
Deployment tends to be implementation-led rather than a self-serve SaaS you can stand up quickly.
No integrated quality suite
eIFU content sits apart from your QMS and design records, so labelling is one more system to keep in sync.
US-centric support
European teams can see slower response times because of time-zone gaps.
Analytics and access insight
End-user access analytics and self-serve reporting are less of a focus than on a dedicated eIFU platform.
eIFU management made simple with Matrix eIFU
The challenge
Publishing and maintaining compliant electronic instructions for use at global scale
- Fragmented IFU content and versionsInstructions for use, translations and revisions get scattered across documents and drives, making it hard to prove that every market always sees the current, approved version.
- Complex EU MDR eIFU rulesRegulation 2021/2226 sets strict conditions for when and how an eIFU may replace paper, including retaining previous versions and providing paper on request within set timeframes.
- A heavy multilingual burdenEach market can require the IFU in its own language, and keeping dozens of translations synchronised with the master is slow and error prone.
- Always-on accessibilityeIFUs must be reachable to end users continuously, including low bandwidth and offline situations, with uptime you can evidence to an auditor.
- Traceability back to the deviceRegulators expect a clear link from the physical device and its UDI to the exact IFU version that is in use.
- Audit and security pressureContent integrity, access control and full version history all have to hold up under inspection.
Our solution
Compliant eIFU creation, hosting and distribution in one platform
- A single source of truth for IFUsAuthor, version and approve every IFU and translation in one controlled system, with a complete history behind every change.
- Built for EU MDR and FDA eIFU rulesMatrix eIFU is designed around Regulation 2021/2226 and FDA expectations, including previous-version retention and paper on request workflows.
