Description

 Categories Training The EU’s new Medical Device Regulation (MDR), which entered into force on 26 May 2017, builds on the framework of the existing Medical Device Directive (MDD) and Active Implantable Medical Devices Directive (AIMD). Now is a critical time for manufacturers as they prepare for conformity by the mandatory compliance date of 26 May 2020.

 Description:
 The MDR brings multiple challenges for global medical device manufacturers, including limited time to understand and implement the requirements for CE certification and business continuity. With the continued lack of guidance and interpretive documents from key stakeholders, manufacturers must make progress with their best interpretations of current expectations. This one-day workshop, prepared by experts who have previously worked for leading EU Notified Bodies, will provide in-depth information for medical device professionals who have a basic knowledge of the CE Mark process under the existing MDD and AIMD regulations. Learning Objectives: Relate the changes in the MDR to company planning, priorities and portfolio Consider current guidance and areas of uncertainty, with recommendations for best practice approaches Review strategies for maintaining CE certification using the existing directives under transitional provisions Demonstrate how relationships with supply chain partners will change Identify problems that may arise with specific devices, company quality systems and resources Develop and assess progress against the transition plan for implementing changes
