46Article 8(1) of Directive 93/42 requires Member States which have found there to be risks linked to medical devices which have been certified as being in compliance with that directive to take all appropriate interim measures to withdraw those medical devices from the market or prohibit or restrict their being placed on the market or put into service. In those circumstances, the Member State concerned is required by that same provision to notify the Commission immediately of the measures taken, indicating in particular the reasons for the measures. Under Article 8(2) of Directive 93/42, the Commission must in turn examine whether those interim measures are justified and, if so, inform immediately the Member State which initiated such measures and the other Member States.
