Medical Devices: Regulation and Life Cycle Management

Overview

This course is fully booked now.
For further information, please contact our customer center on EMEA@diaglobal.org.

This course will give clear and practical guidelines on how to navigate the development of a medical device in the regulatory landscape, and how to identify the correct development path. It focuses on Europe, but also addresses global standards.

Overview of the EU device legislative system and the principles and philosophy behind it will be discussed. Instructors will also explain the essential features of EU medical device regulation, such as essential requirements, risk classification, the relationship between risk classification and conformity assessment procedures and the role of notified bodies.

Furthermore, the process of drafting a design dossier will be highlighted, both for medical devices and for combination products.
