Program Details

This presentation will provide context to the regulation as well as an outline of the main elements of the legislation (Medical Devices Regulation (MDR, 2017/745) and In Vitro Diagnostic Devices Regulation (IVDR, 2017/746)), both of which were published in April 2017. The amending legislations will also be profiled (April 2017 to IVDR DoA): expansion of legacy device definition to MDR, one-year delay in MDR DoA, and extension of compliance dates for legacy devices to IVDR. An explanation of the events that led to Regulation 2023/607, which delays MDR compliance dates for legacy devices and eliminates sell-off dates for medical devices and IVDs, will be shared, including regulatory strategy considerations related to Regulation 2023/607.

Lessons learned from MDR and IVDR compliance will be addressed, as will common notified body findings from MDR and IVDR assessments. There will be general advice and recommendations to consider in a manufacturer’s compliance journey and a reminder of areas that all manufacturers must address in the future.
