The team discussed how QMS procedures should match real business processes, and reviewed UDI, lot numbering, label design, EUDAMED responsibilities, MedEnvoy oversight, DoCs, language considerations and HPRA fees. The internal follow-up added scope clarity around sunglasses/PPE, working-session planning, site-visit planning and the need for client clarification questions.", "overallTopicsDiscussed": [ "QMS

Dublin.", "The Park West warehouse is mostly manual, with scanners and RF Smart handheld devices used for picking.", "Customer orders can come through B2B, sales reps or customer service and are

I.", "DOC translation and country/language coverage need to be clarified based on where products are shipped.", "The HPRA authorised representative invoice and SRN registration correspondence need to

to Orla for review.", "Goods are purchased by DITA Inc directly from Japanese suppliers.", "The first EU point of entry is the Netherlands, where goods are fiscally cleared by a third party and held temporarily at the airport.", "Goods are then released and transported to Ireland, with final storage at the Park West warehouse.", "The warehouse process is primarily manual, with scanners used for picking.", "Products are stored in original packaging and are already barcoded at the factory.", "Incoming product checks are performed but are not comprehensive.", "Wholesale opticians place orders

day.", "DITA currently uses UPC codes and is implementing lot numbering and a transition to 2D data matrix.", "The US team is managing label design and barcode format.", "Jenny outlined UDI compliance, including production identifiers and EUDAMED registration dates.", "New devices must now be registered in EUDAMED and existing products by 28 November 2026.", "The legal manufacturer owns device registration, while the importer and authorised representative must verify completion.", "MedEnvoy, acting for the manufacturer, should complete registrations, but Orla and Trinzo need oversight of timelines for HPRA audit readiness.", "Jenny checked the US FDA database and found no products registered, recommending DITA Inc complete the US registration work.", "John-Paul noted that sunglasses DoCs need updating to include EU MDR and PPE in one rationale.", "The team needs a list of countries where devices are shipped to assess translation considerations for DoCs.", "Orla asked

should attend only relevant working sessions to avoid unnecessary use of hours.", "The team should schedule internal working sessions as needed and compile a question or clarification list.", "Mark suggested a site visit may be beneficial, and Jacqui should follow up with Orla to plan it.", "Sunglasses are not explicitly listed in the SOW scope, but Jacqui instructed the team to include PPE because it is inferred by the second SOW.", "Documents should therefore consider both opticals and sunglasses for importer obligations.", "Jacqui will confirm with Orla whether sunglasses should be inferred as in scope.", "John-Paul noted that the current draft documents for the earlier SOW are MDR-focused because the first SOW covered optical only.", "Colm outlined that the SOW 2 DoCs were dual DoCs covering opticals and sunglasses under MDR and PPE regulations.", "The team discussed whether DoCs need translation or whether English-only DoCs are sufficient.", "Colm and Jenny shared experience that English-only DoCs have been accepted across device classes and notified body audits.", "MDR refers to a European language or languages where products are sold, and English is an official EU language.", "Translation is not typically required unless a specific competent authority requests it.", "John-Paul noted country-specific regulations, databases or local markets may still demand translated DoCs." ], "minutesActions": [ { "owner": "Orla", "action": "Review the QMS manual from the team.", "deadline": "24 March 2026" }, { "owner": "Orla", "action": "Follow up with Cody
