Speaker

Ken Pilgrim, manager, Quality and Regulatory Affairs

In May 2017, the In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Regulation (IVDR) (EU) 2017/746 was formally published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU), and the date of application was May 26, 2022. The IVDR significantly expanded the IVDD and established a rule-based classification system. Although most IVD manufacturers still have until 2025 or later to fully transition the IVDR, the majority will face significant challenges in carrying out the updates to their quality management systems (QMS) and technical documentation needed to prepare for certification through a Notified Body.

This webinar will help you gain a better understanding of the various requirements needed, common challenges companies encounter in their journey towards compliance with the IVDR and recommendations for planning and organizational strategy.
