EUDAMED (European Database on Medical Devices) consists of six modules covering aspects like actor registration, UDI/devices, notified bodies/certificates, clinical investigations, vigilance/post-market surveillance, and market surveillance. Public access is available for certain modules (e.g., devices, certificates), allowing searches by fields like manufacturer, model, risk class, UDI-DI, or EMDN codes via the official portal at
