Are You Ready For EUDAMED?
EUDAMED is MDR’s one of the most critical aspects as it's intended to act as a “living database” of every medical device that is roaming the European Union.
HAVE YOU ASSIGNED YOUR PRRC YET?
The Person Responsible for Regulatory Compliance (PRRC) is a position that was introduced with the MDR and should not be confused with quality assurance managers
DO PATIENTS EVEN NEED THE MDR?
MDR’S sole goal and purpose are to update the EU rules regarding the safety and performance of medical devices to ensure that patients get the best possible technology with the absolute minimum risk
HAVE YOU BEEN FOLLOWING THE GUIDANCE DOCUMENTS?
Guidance documents, just like international standards are non-binding but useful tools to help the relevant parties interpret the regulation.
