Know when a document becomes readable in your case, and what the placeholder says until then.

You need
- A delivered case whose package is current.
You read a document in the case only once the whole technical file has been delivered and the package is current. Before that, opening a row shows the document's name and a sentence that says where the document stands, instead of its text.
| What the panel says | What it means |
|---|---|
| Your expert has issued this document. It becomes available here when your complete technical file is released. | Your expert has issued this document. You can read it once the complete file is released, or once a delivered package that is being updated is released again (see the deliverable page). |
| Your MDR expert is still finalising this document. You'll be able to read it here once it's issued. | Your expert has not issued this document yet, or its issued version is out of date and a new one is being prepared. |
| This one comes later. It's issued once your device is on the market — one report for each reporting period — so it isn't part of your CE marking package. | A post-market report. It is issued after your device is on the market, once for each reporting period. |
| This document is not part of your current package. | The document was retired from the delivered package. |
| This document isn't available to preview here yet. | The document exists but this panel cannot render it. |
What happens next
- Once delivered, read the document against the source references shown with it — a citation records where a statement came from; it does not confirm the source fact.
- Download the released deliverable for the file as issued.
