Device Master Record (DMR): Contains all of the device specifications and procedures used for its manufacture.

Typically only current (not obsolete) procedures, schematics, BOM's, etc. are kept here.

Device History Record (DHR): Is a compilation of the test results for each manufactured device. Each device (or lot) should have a DHF that fully describes the tests that were done, who did them, and date (complete traceability on all tests).

Design History File (DHF): A compilation of records that contain the history of the design, such as validations, verifications, qualifications, environmental testing, project plans, risk management activities, meeting minutes, etc. Often this will include all revisions of a procedure, schematic, etc. so that as the development process evolves this traces the changes that were made.

Technical File: Only required for CE Mark (not an FDA thing). Its contents will include some of the items from the DHR and DHF, plus items not in the DHR and DHF, such as statements about substantial equivalence or clinical trials. Most important item in here is the Essential Requirements matrix. The lengthy list of items is described in the relevant MDD, perhaps MDD 93/42 in your case.
