Compliance with the forthcoming Medical Device Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR) presents many new challenges to Medical Device manufacturers. Our in-depth MDR training is designed to help you and your team prepare for these challenges and transition smoothly to the MDR.

This course focuses on what is required to bring your Medical Device to market under Medical Device Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR).

Learn how to interpret and navigate the new regulations, determine device classification and understand device conformity assessment routes. The course will address the enhanced requirements under the Regulation; General Safety and Performance Requirements (GSPRs), Clinical Evidence, Post Market Surveillance including Periodic Safety Update Report and Vigilance etc. The course will also look at the role of Competent Authorities and Notified Bodies.
