IVD manufacturers are expected to face many challenges during the transition to compliance with the EU’s new requirements for IVDS, the IVDR.
This webcast will discuss the potential impact of the IVDR on new and existing (legacy) devices and important considerations for determining an appropriate regulatory pathway and application strategy.
