EN 980:2008 has been superseded by EN 15223-1:2012 on January 31, 2013
 

Medical (Device) Symbols

If your company manufactures medical devices, medicines or medical related equipment, you will definitely need the above symbols for your products in Europe. By applying these harmonized symbols you need no further textual explanation on the (packaging of your) product.

The Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EC has designated EN 980:2008 as the standard providing symbols for all medical devices. The symbols from the standard may be used on equipment without textual explanation.

Legal Status in Europe

The Medical Devices Directive has designated EN 980:2008 the standard providing specific symbols for all medical devices. The symbols from the standard may be used on equipment without textual explanation.

The standard EN 980:2008 is listed in the latest list of harmonized standards under the MDD in the EC (C262/6 : 8-30-2012) , and is therefore the only standard that can be used on your Declaration of Conformity for symbolic references on equipment.

Using the symbols

Now you have purchased the standard just to discover that the symbols reproduced are of such bad quality that you cannot decently reproduce them for use on your product. Of course, most symbols are simple and relatively easy to draw; but drawing is not your primary job, and you have a schedule to meet:

Manuals, safety recommendations and type plates need to be completed today, no yesterday !

Quality symbols

Now your next challenge is to find a resource for good quality symbols. That's how you came to us and this is exactly where our font comes to help. This font allows you to quickly and easily reproduce all EN 980:2008 symbols in Word and any other windows software you have at any size you want to. You know that -when editing texts in Word-, the size of your characters is expressed  in points. By changing the point size, you can literally blow up each character to the size you need ! That is what you can do with our symbols too !

In literally five (5!) minutes from now you may have ordered, paid, downloaded and installed this font and will all these symbols be available in all your favorite Windows/Apple software. The same easy way as ordinary fonts such as Arial and Times Roman may be used. Our font contains all symbols from EN980:2008, so in the place where you normally would type a 'C', now the 'ce mark' is printed, and instead of a 'G' a 'sterile' symbol is printed.

Vector symbols versus bitmap fonts

Our medical symbol font was created using a professional drawing editor in vector format, using real scalable elements. This font can be used in drawing programs, text editors and presentation programs. You may select symbols in any available color, and even use them as a background in your  presentations. You can select sizes from 6 to 400 points or more if your software allows for!
