eIFU availability to users
The IFU of our device are provided in electronic format due to the nature of the device (more information about IFU design, validation and IT security measures are detailed in GP-001 - Documents and records control
).
There are 3 options for users to get access to the IFU:
- Legit.health website: the users can access our website and consult the eIFU.
- URL: the IFU is accessible through a dedicated and secure URL.
- Output of the device: the IFU is integrated into the output of our medical device's API, allowing users to access it as a key-value pair.
The only requirement for accessing the eIFU is having internet connection. The users can access the IFU via any web browsers with any operations system.
This information is provided to the clients during the sales process as part of the device information shared with the customers.
Paper IFU request
This section explains how we fulfil a customer's request related to paper IFU.
The IFU of our device are available only in electronic format, es explained in the section above. In case a customer would like to consult the IFU in a paper format, we establish a process to fulfil the customer's need.
Customers can request paper IFU by using one of the following options:
- eIFU section called

: the client will fill in a form to request the paper IFU, Legit.Health will receive the notification and will manage the request. - Direct emails to sales team by using the following email address: sales@Legit.health
- Website section called

where the customers can submit their request.
The last two options are recommended when users encounter issues to access the electronic IFU.
Information on how to request paper IFU is also provided as an output of the device. More precisely, the device will return the following message (among others): Instructions for use in paper form can be requested through a form in the electronic instructions for use, and will be shipped in 7 days at no additional cost in conformity with Article 5 of regulation 2021/2226
.
Once the request is received, one of the sales team members will manage the request, this means the following:
- The assigned sales person will ask any missing information to the customer in order to fulfil the request (e.g. shipping address of the client).
- The assigned sales person will take care of printing the IFU.
- The assigned sales person will take care of the shipping process and he/she will follow up wih the client to ensure the paper IFU has been correctly shipped.
The paper IFU will be provided to the customer at the latest within 7 calendar days of receiving the request (according to the outcomes of the risk analysis) and paper IFU will be provided at no additional cost for the client.
