Medical Device Regulatory and Safety Standards – An Update




The regulatory climate for medical devices is constantly evolving as technologies improve and market (post-production) experience expands. The international standards for Medical Device Quality Systems, Risk Management, Basic Safety, Essential Performance, and EMC are changing as well. Learn up-to-date, detailed information about how these changes redefine the benchmark for acceptable product life cycle processes and risk and their impact on many functional groups within a medical device company.

Speakers include: a representative from a European Notified Body; IEC 60601, SC62A committee members; a manufacturing engineer familiar with automation production safety testing; and a regulatory affairs manager responsible for implementing these new standards.
