To ensure a progressive transition to Regulation (EU) 2017/746, the appropriate surveillance regarding in vitro diagnostic medical devices benefiting from the transitional period should be transferred from the notified body that issued the certificate in accordance with Directive 98/79/EC to a notified body designated under Regulation (EU) 2017/746. For reasons of legal certainty, the notified body designated under Regulation (EU) 2017/746 should not be responsible for conformity assessment and surveillance activities carried out by the notified body that issued the certificate.
