About Faculty: KELLY THOMAS

This 2-day virtual seminar will go into the specifics of the European Union Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR), provide case studies and share lessons learned so your organization can benefit from the mistakes of others. We will review the latest changes to the regulations effective and in force and will draw out key developments and key dates. The looming EU MDR crisis: Protect your patients.

Regulatory affairs executives are currently focused on organizing and managing the final steps of the transition to align corporate strategies with new requirements and processes. This seminar will focus on the time remaining in the transition period and what companies can expect from notified bodies and regulators as the implementation deadline draws to a close, as well as clarifying areas of uncertainty such as implementing acts and defining sufficient clinical evidence.

The new EU Medical Devices Regulations (the MDR and IVDR) for medical devices and 2022 (for in vitro diagnostic medical devices). The European Commission and medical device coordination group (MDCG) are busy preparing the guidance documents and implementing legislation to ensure the Regulations can function. Notified bodies are also going through the designation procedure to ensure they can accept applications under the MDR and that products can be placed on the market under the new Regulations. However, there is still much to do, and progress has been slow.
