Duration 1 Day
David R. Dills, Regulatory Affairs & Compliance Consultant is a Keynote Speaker at Compliance Key INC provides regulatory affairs, compliance and quality consultative services for early-stage and established Class I/II/III device, In Vitro Diagnostics, and bio/pharmaceutical manufacturers on the global landscape, and also has an accomplished record with more than 24 years of experience in the areas of Regulatory Affairs, Compliance and Quality Systems.
Overview
The new Medical Device Regulations (MDR) were published in the Official Journal of the European Union on May 5, 2017. From that date, manufacturers, suppliers, Notified Bodies, and national competent authorities have a transition period of three years to comply with the new set of rules. Given the large scale of changes, there is great pressure on all actors to analyze the MDR, conduct impact assessments, and implement compliant processes. After May 2020, non-compliance threatens CE-mark certification, access to the European market, or, in the case of Notified Bodies, re-designation. We will provide our attendees with an understanding of the Transition Provisions, Re-Certification and Reclassification Components of MDR.
The European Union released the Medical Devices Regulation (MDR 2017/745/EU) to eventually replace the Medical Devices Directive and Active Implantable Medical Devices Directive. The MDR introduces numerous changes, including a shift from the pre-approval stage to more of a life-cycle approach. It also incorporates a variety of European guidance documents (MEDDEVs) into the regulation and emphasizes the importance of Post-Market Surveillance (PMS), clinical data, clinical evaluations, and Post-Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF). MDR compliance presents many new challenges to medical device manufacturers.
