EU AI Act classifies most AI medical devices as high-risk if they are Class IIa or above under MDR.Translation: if your AI touches a diagnostic decision, triage workflow, or treatment recommendation in Europe, you face dual compliance. MDR plus AI Act. Two assessment frameworks. Two bodies of evidence.Early estimates: 30-40% additional compliance cost for AI-enabled devices entering EU.Companies preparing now will have 12-18 month advantage over those who wait.

AI radiology tools now detect fractures with 98.7% sensitivity and cut interpretation time by 27%. The FDA has cleared 295 AI medical devices in 2025 alone. 71% were radiology. But here is the gap nobody talks about: most cleared tools sit in procurement limbo. Hospitals buy them, then cannot integrate them into clinical workflows. Cleared is not adopted.
