CD & CD-ROM of this audio conference
Both
regulators and industry herald the Medical Device Directive
93/42/EEC (MDD) as a success in managing medical devices onto
the European market. The CE Mark is now firmly established and
globally recognized, facilitating the free movement of medical
devices throughout the European Union.
As
foreseen in the MDD, Competent Authorities have spent the past
two years considering the positives and negatives of the CE-Marking
system: what has gone well and what should be improved. The
MDD review is now reaching its climax and has included some
radical and critical changes - from the way that Notified Bodies
work, to the oversight by Competent Authorities, specific definitions
within classification rules, and strengthening the requirements
for clinical data including clinical investigations.
In
this presentation, Dr. Chignon describes how 93/42/EEC is changing
and the likely impact this will have on the medical device industry.
This audio
conference will cover:
- History
of changes within 93/42/EEC
- The review
process
- Changes
that have already taken place
- Changes
to take place in the next 12 months
- Responsibilities
of the device manufacturer
