European Medical Device Nomenclature (EMDN) is the nomenclature of use by manufacturers when registering their medical devices in the EUDAMED database. EMDN is characterised by its alphanumeric structure that is established in a seven-level hierarchical tree.
In Europe, medical material that fulfills the definition of a medical device according to the MDR (Medical Device Regulation) is classified into 4 classes
The product is part of at least one Kit.
A kit is a collection of products (medical and/or logistic) that are needed for a certain intervention in emergency. The choice and quantity of the articles reflects the MSF protocols for this specific situation. The use of Kits allows to start an intervention without a detailed evaluation.

Packaging & Labelling
Each blanket is individually wrapped
Instructions for use
Position the silvered surface according to the desired effect:
- silvered surface outside: reflects heat radiance => isolates from heat
- silvered surface inside: retains heat radiance => isolates from humidity, cold and rain (a wounded patient wrapped in the blanket conserves the body heat)
May be cut into smaller pieces for children.
