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
