The food and drug administration (FDA) from the United States Department of Health and human services controls and supervises medical devices to determine if they are appropriate for commercial use. Similarly, the European Union (EU) used CE marking on medical devices that comply with EU regulations, enabling the commercialization of the product in the European countries (ISO 13485). 3D-printed provisional materials available on the market are CE-certified and/or FDA-approved. Class I CE certification means the lowest perceived risk. Class IIa CE certification generally constitutes low to medium risk, and these devices area certified to be installed within the body between 60 minutes and 30 days.
