Medical Device Regulation Course

Implementing the EU’s New Medical Device Regulation (MDR 2017/745) Workshop, Exemplar Global Certified

Medical Device Regulation Course Description
The EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) is far more complex than the Medical Device Directive (93/43/EEC) it replaces and presents new challenges, including strict new requirements for Clinical Data, risk management, postmark surveillance, and supplier management.

QSG’s three-day course on the Medical Device Regulation 2017/745, with a focus on the requirements for Medical Device Manufacturers, provides comprehensive instruction on the EU MDR. It covers every aspect of the regulation and identifies key topics and changes, including economic operators and new roles associated with EU MDR, standard requirements that must be met by all manufacturers regardless of class, and the pre- and post-market requirements of conformity assessment.

In the course, you will receive a general overview of the Medical Device Regulation, the Implementation Timelines, Paths to CE Mark, and a deep dive into the significant articles that affect medical device manufacturers.

Included in the presentation is a copy of the MDR, a gap analysis template, and a sample of the General Safety and Performance Requirements checklist with highlights of significant differences from the MDD Annex I Essential Requirements Checklist.

The course is especially suitable for:

  • Regulatory Affairs professionals who are not familiar with the European MDR
  • Personnel working with Regulatory Affairs departments, e.g. top management, manager or project member in QM/QA, R&D, design, manufacturing, supply chain, customer service and sales
