Course Description:
Note: The EU intends to replace the current directives on medical devices with a set of regulations. The negotiations are ongoing and behind schedule. This seminar covers the directives, but provides also provides information on the proposed regulations.
Medical devices marketed in the European Union must follow the Medical Device Directive (MDD); IVD device and active implantable devices have other directives. The MDD can be complicated, especially for US companies, because the MDD’s approach is different from the regulatory approach in the US. For example, under the MDD your company makes “submissions” to a private company that you hire, not to a government agency.
In addition, requirements are constantly changing in the European Union. For example, the harmonized standards for quality systems and risk management (EN ISO 13485:2012 & EN ISO 14971:2012) are confusing for device manufacturers to implement. The need to keep product documentation current with updates to the harmonized standards provides an additional resource need on device manufacturers.
This interactive two-day course helps you understand the details of the MDD and implement the requirements. Attendees will learn how to classify devices, select the appropriate conformity assessment path, prepare the required documentation, and maintain it. During the course, participants have an opportunity to apply these concepts and principles with a large number of exercises.
The seminar addresses the details of the MDD and includes other significant issues such as the Quality Management System (EN ISO 13485:2012), Risk Management (EN ISO 14971:2012), Clinical Evaluation (MDD Annex X), and the role of harmonized standards.
Attendees receive detailed checklists that help classify devices, analyze and apply the Essential Requirements, and conduct internal quality audits.
