Quotations, tables and other illustrations borrowed from medical journals or scientific works and used in advertising must be faithfully reproduced and their exact source specified.

Advertising may not refer to the position taken on a medical device by an administrative authority or advisory body in a way likely to alter the meaning or objectivity of that position.

All written information must be perfectly legible.

Article R5213-3
Les informations contenues dans chaque publicité sont exactes, à jour, vérifiables et suffisamment complètes pour permettre, selon le cas, au grand public de comprendre l’utilisation à laquelle le dispositif médical est destiné et aux professionnels d’apprécier les caractéristiques et les performances du dispositif médical.


Les citations, tableaux et autres illustrations empruntés à des revues médicales ou à des ouvrages scientifiques, qui sont utilisés dans la publicité, sont reproduits fidèlement et leur source exacte est précisée.


La publicité ne peut mentionner la position prise à l’égard d’un dispositif médical par une autorité administrative ou une instance consultative d’une manière susceptible d’altérer le sens ou l’objectivité de cette position.


Toute mention écrite est parfaitement lisible.
