The marketing authorization dossier for a medicinal product with an integral medical device is expected to include the results of the assessment of conformity for the medical device component to the General Safety and Performance Requirements (GSPRs) laid down in Annex I of the Regulation (i.e. the declaration of conformity or the relevant certificate issued by a notified body). The session will provide an overview of current challenges and opportunities including a panel discussion:EMA representative, Notified Body Representatives, and Industry:
