Traditionally, MDR equivalence involves manual review of many devices, which is laborious. However, our results suggest that the automated calculation of similarity coefficients streamlines this process, thus reducing regulatory effort, which can be beneficial for patients needing medical devices. Although this study is focused on the European perspective, it can find application within 510(k) equivalence regulation. The conceptual approach is reminiscent of chemical fingerprint similarity analysis employed in read-across.
