Classification Engine Dual-market

The FDA and EU MDR engines are independent. Use the market selector above. “Both + Compare” shows results side-by-side with a divergence summary.

FDA Classification & Pathway

FDA Product Code & Regulation Number
After estimating class/pathway, look up the official product code and 21 CFR regulation number in the FDA Product Classification database. That determines the exact controls, exemptions and guidance.

SaMD / AI IMDRF + FDA + MDR

The IMDRF risk framework is the common language. Map the result to the FDA pathway and MDR Rule 11.

EU AI Act Regulation (EU) 2024/1689

The AI Act applies in addition to the MDR for AI-enabled medical devices. An AI system that is a device (or a safety component of one) requiring Notified Body conformity assessment under the MDR is high-risk under Article 6(1).

Key dates: in force since 1 Aug 2024 · prohibitions apply since 2 Feb 2025 · general high-risk rules (Annex III) from 2 Aug 2026 · high-risk AI embedded in Annex I regulated products — which includes MDR/IVDR devices — from 2 Aug 2027. Verify current status, as timelines may be amended.

About RegCompass

RegCompass is a free, dual-market decision-support toolkit for FDA (US) and EU MDR medical-device requirements. It covers classification, SaMD/AI (IMDRF-aligned), the EU AI Act, cybersecurity, human factors, GSPR and EUDAMED completeness. It does not replace professional regulatory advice, FDA interaction or Notified Body assessment.

Transparency: no AI inside
RegCompass contains no artificial-intelligence, machine-learning, or third-party AI-assistant code of any kind — no embedded copilot, chatbot, model API calls, or AI-generated runtime logic. Every result is produced by fixed, human-written decision rules that you can read and audit line-by-line in the open-source code (js/app.js). The app runs entirely on your device, works offline, and collects or transmits no data. This applies to the build and packaging scripts too (electron/main.js, scripts/make-www.js, the GitHub Actions workflows) — there is no AI anywhere in the toolchain that ships to users.
Disclaimer & limitation of liability
RegCompass is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied. It may contain errors or omissions and is not a substitute for professional regulatory advice. No liability is accepted for any decision made or action taken using this tool. Classification, pathway selection and compliance remain the sole responsibility of the manufacturer. Results are preliminary. Always verify against official FDA resources, EUR-Lex, current MDCG guidance, IMDRF documents and EUDAMED.

Install as an app

RegCompass is an installable web app (PWA). On phones use “Add to Home Screen”; on desktop Chrome/Edge use the install icon in the address bar.

Windows desktop app

No install needed to try it — the portable build runs directly. The installer adds a Start Menu shortcut and auto-updates in place.

The .exe is unsigned (code-signing certificates are a paid service), so Windows SmartScreen may show “Windows protected your PC” the first time. Click More info → Run anyway. Verify you downloaded from github.com/rajeevyadav/regcompass before doing so.
