In May 2017 the new Medical Device Regulation (EU) 2017/745 was adopted, replacing Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC.
Are you ready for the new Regulation?
The new Regulation is based on a wish to ensure increased safety and quality of medical devices that are sold and distributed within the EU. The new Regulation deals both with products already CE marked as medical devices and with products under development.
The new Regulation has led to significantly increased requirements, also within safety and efficiency. The three-year transition phase from the Directive to the Regulation entering into force means that manufacturers have until May 2020 to meet the new Regulation requirements.
