(4)In addition, Regulation (EU) 2023/607 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote has extended the transitional period laid down in Regulation (EU) 2017/745 applicable to certain medical devices until 31 December 2027 for devices with a higher risk and until 31 December 2028 for medium and lower risk devices, subject to certain conditions. It has also extended the validity of the certificates issued under Directives 90/385/EEC and 93/42/EEC, if the legal conditions are fulfilled. Those measures are intended to ensure that notified bodies can complete the conformity assessment and issue the certificates in accordance with the requirements under Regulation (EU) 2017/745, to ensure a high level of protection of public health and patient safety and to avoid shortages of medical devices needed for health services and patients, without lowering current quality and safety requirements.
