From the Notified Body perspective there have been significant challenges with the implementation of the new Medical Device Regulations from the EU, which in turn has caused potentially difficult decisions for medical device manufacturers and the overall impact of those decisions on the EU healthcare system. The EU Medical Device Directives (MDD) expired on May 25, 2021, replaced by the new Medical Device Regulations (MDR). The transition period will remain in effect until May 25, 2024, but holders of MDD certificates will need to move to MDR certification as soon as possible, considering the certificate's expiration date, the complexity of the new regulation, and the limited resources of European Notified Bodies. Our first presentation will discuss the challenges facing the Notified Body system, the potential difficult decisions that medical device manufacturers will have to make when they determine their regulatory strategy, the practical reality of changing notified bodies and/or working with multiple notified bodies (e.g., in case of M&A of a startup), and the overall impact to the EU healthcare system.
