Basic seminar on medical devices
Description
Medical device manufacturers operate in a field that is subject to a number of legal regulations. It is important that employees in a variety of roles are confident in their knowledge of the basics of medical device legislation, as this enables them to assess decisions and their consequences accurately. This seminar covers the basics of medical devices that previously fell within the remit of EC Directives 93/42/EEC and 90/385/EEC and now fall under the remit of European Regulation (EU) 2017/745. It is intended to provide an insight into the most important areas within the legal requirements for medical devices in Europe and establish a link to practical work. By providing an informative overview of Europe and beyond, this seminar improves participants' understanding of the varied regulatory approaches in the medical device field. This seminar is suitable as initial training for new employees, as well as further training or a refresher course for employees who have been working in this sector for some time.
