Increased EU Clinical Requirements

The Medical Device Regulation 2017/745 introduced higher pre- and post-market clinical requirements on manufacturers of all classes of devices. Class III and Implantable devices are required to conduct clinical investigations and just in some exemptional cases allowed to justify the reliance on existent sufficient clinical data. Non-implantable class IIa and IIb devices must fulfill higher requirements to be able to use the equivalence approach when justifying safety and performance of a device. All devices are obliged to conduct PMCF which is divided into general and specific activities including also activities related to similar or equivalent devices. All these requirements remain challenging for the various stakeholders due to the missing experience in their implementation. During this webinar we will be able to share with you the first experience with the implementation of the regulatory requirements and the feedback of a designated notified body on the first submissions according to the new legislation.
