#MTF2024 is underway! Around 1,000 delegates, 60 sessions, and many critical EU #medtech regulatory topics on the agenda #EUMDR #EUIVR. Come and say “hi” if you are here!

Cyprus has an #EUMDR notified body, the 39th to be designated in the EU. Numbers nearly at that 40 mark now as the MDR amending time has extended transition periods too. More time, and more bandwidth for #medtech. But not an excuse…lnkd.in/eV8KwwmJ bit.ly/44xTwNt

Loving the Christmas analogy responses here to this debate over the urgency to comply with the IVD Regulation. Thank you to @gertwbos, Andreas Stange and Graeme Tunbridge for a fascinating discussion about impact of the #EUIVDR amending regulation and how…lnkd.in/e8qHtD6S

It's now official. Substantially more time for manufacturers of Annex XVI to comply with the MDR, on certain conditions. Given the growth in the number of people offering aesthetic services involving such devices and the relatively…lnkd.in/ek6gdRkk bit.ly/46uaaj2

A second chance at obtaining free clinical advice from an expert panel for your innovative high-risk medical device. Would love to hear from any company that is successful in the first or second phases. #medtech #EUMDR bit.ly/3Jxqu8R

Sad news. Fond memories of John Webster, RIP.#medtech #EUMDR #EUIVDR #medtechlabelling bit.ly/3CIcmFJ

Returning from a lovely holiday in la bella Italia, I was struck how quiet the EU machinery had been during my absence in terms of churning out new #EUMDR #EUIVDR documents. This article explains why I believe the EU is entering a…lnkd.in/egdUgD4P bit.ly/3WTuS7x

Regulating high-risk #medtech #AI applications commensurate with clinical risk is the key to proportionate regulation, according to experts at CORE-MD. Interestingly, they state that the level of clinical evidence and the criteria used by regulators to ev…lnkd.in/ejQa5KfP

How big an issue is this hiatus in #EUMDR notified body designations, do you think, given that manufacturers must have their legacy product applications submitted to notified bodies by 26 May 2024 if they wish to benefit from exten…lnkd.in/eC6aBuyc bit.ly/3LXJayU

Need to understand how notified bodies will provide assurance that certain #EUMDR legacy products can continue on market despite certificates expiring? And want to know what is required from manufacturers? A brief summary here: #medtech bit.ly/3Mg3eho

Unusual to see #EUMDR guidance come directly from the European Commission rather than the MDCG. The document stresses the importance of "conciseness" when it comes to sponsors submitting the summary of the #clinical investigation r…lnkd.in/eAzj9ECd bit.ly/3HTdSrP

FREE UPDATE! No need for a subscription to read this piece. My latest round-up focuses on the EU's role in global medtech regulations and the direction in which new developments are heading as latest technology challenges regulator…lnkd.in/ebq-YEnu bit.ly/3LREPOT

Expert panel opinions on notified bodies' clinical evaluation assessment reports of their clients' high-risk devices are now a key feature of the EU medtech system. With the tenth opinion #EUMDR published, trends are emerging that…lnkd.in/ecCDQUG8 bit.ly/3H4G8Y4

How should the design of personalized #medicaldevices be regulated when the breadth of variation makes it impossible to fully assess compliance? And how should the production system be regulated for such devices? These are question…lnkd.in/eYq8f-SN bit.ly/3UQrusO

How the US supported EU #medtech stakeholders get their message across at the highest levels to effectively slow down the speed of full implementation of the #EUMDR. Are EU stakeholders as engaged when it comes to US #medtech regulations, MedTech Europe? bit.ly/3L8vulr

Which authorities globally are going to be communicating together to flag up concerns or potential threats with your #medicaldevices and #IVDs? How quickly will local #medtech worries come under a global spotlight? #IMDRF bit.ly/408RUqY

A new Spanish #medtech law details where Spain's requirements may differ from other EU member states when it comes to #EUMDR measures. Most of it is permissible and expected. But has Spain gone too far in one or two areas? bit.ly/41uRagM

So very controversial. I guess an artificial womb would be a Class III medical device? Is the EUMDR ready for such responsibility should it materialize? Or is this among the developments that would prompt a revision? #medtech #medicaldevice #artificialwomb lnkd.in/eCbcebb4

Quick! Quick! #EUMDR and #EUIVDR deadlines now look tenable given the extended transition periods for legacy products and current notified body resources. But they won't be Team-NB warns, unless manufacturers up their game when it…lnkd.in/e8ktFMRG bit.ly/3Mzxvbs
