Online Webinar 2019 - European Medical Device Regulations (EU MDR): Strategic Planning for the Coming Critical

Overview
Device makers face a market upheaval in the EU. A new set of rules — the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) — will soon supplant the longstanding Medical Device Directive, forever changing how you sell medical devices in EU nations.
The number of rules will increase from 18 to 22, dramatically impacting what quality and regulatory specialists do every day. Changes in classification rules will require manufacturers to confirm and update documentation to reflect the changes. And this just scratches the surface.
Session Highlights
Join us for 90 minutes of total immersion into the forthcoming changes. You’ll discover:
Documentation confirmation and updating: Specific changes you’ll be required to make
New separate software rules and what they say
How the aforementioned rules increase, from 18 to 22, could affect your job
Stricter requirements for implantable devices: The impact on quality and compliance
The consequences of delay: Sanctions you could face, markets you could lose
And much more!
Once the MDR takes effect, you’ll have three years to adapt to the changes. Don’t kid yourself: The time to start preparing is right now
