Common frustrations with Kallik
Teams weighing Kallik against a focused eIFU platform tend to raise the same points.
eIFU management made simple with Matrix eIFU
Publishing and maintaining compliant electronic instructions for use at global scale
Compliant eIFU creation, hosting and distribution in one platform
Fragmented IFU content and versions
Instructions for use, translations and revisions get scattered across documents and drives, making it hard to prove that every market always sees the current, approved version.
A single source of truth for IFUs
Author, version and approve every IFU and translation in one controlled system, with a complete history behind every change.
Complex EU MDR eIFU rules
Regulation 2021/2226 sets strict conditions for when and how an eIFU may replace paper, including retaining previous versions and providing paper on request within set timeframes.
Built for EU MDR and FDA eIFU rules
Matrix eIFU is designed around Regulation 2021/2226 and FDA expectations, including previous-version retention and paper on request workflows.
A heavy multilingual burden
Each market can require the IFU in its own language, and keeping dozens of translations synchronised with the master is slow and error prone.
Effortless multilingual publishing
Manage every language variant against a single master and publish them together, so no market is ever left on an outdated version.
Always-on accessibility
eIFUs must be reachable to end users continuously, including low bandwidth and offline situations, with uptime you can evidence to an auditor.
Reliable global hosting
Content is served from resilient, ISO 27001 hosting with the uptime and access you can evidence to an auditor.
Traceability back to the device
Regulators expect a clear link from the physical device and its UDI to the exact IFU version that is in use.
UDI and QR linking
Generate QR codes that take each user straight to the correct, current IFU for their exact device and language.
Audit and security pressure
Content integrity, access control and full version history all have to hold up under inspection.
Part of the Matrix One suite
Your eIFU content sits on the same platform as your quality and design records, so labelling stays aligned with the rest of your technical file.
