The EU MDR significantly changes the regulatory framework for placing any new medical device on the market, but it does not provide any specific instruction for applying the new requirements to legacy devices with valid certifications under the MDD.
Legacy devices cannot be “grandfathered” into compliance and the implications are significant, from updating technical documentation to changing product labels and demonstrating robust clinical evidence. Manufacturers must ensure their transition plan meets these new requirements in order to continue marketing their devices on the EU market.
Join RAPS for a two-day workshop to ensure your transition plan includes the key requirements for device compliance on the EU Market.
This workshop is aimed at the mid-level regulatory affairs professional who is responsible for applying the EU MDR requirements to his/her organization’s products. Knowledge of the MDD is not required but does help provide a better understanding of the impact of the changes on legacy products and will enable attendees to leave the workshop with a clearer path for creating the transition plan.
