Agenda
The new European Medical Devices Regulation (MDR) and the In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Regulation (IVDR) represent some of the most wide-ranging and disruptive changes to recently affect the world’s second-largest medical technology market. Now, with just a two- to four-year transition period before full compliance is required in 2020 for MDR and 2022 for IVDR, device developers will need to implement changes to help new and existing products succeed.
The scope and complexity of this legislation will require significant changes in areas such as product development, data reporting, quality assurance and manufacturing processes. While these dates may seem a long way off, manufacturers need to start planning immediately, as adjusting will take time and effort.
