The European Commission amended the Medical Devices Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR), Article 120. This was done through adoption of Regulation (EU) 2023/607 on March 20, 2023. Regulation (EU) 2023/607 introduces a staggered extension of the transition period provided for in the MDR under certain conditions. Also, the sell-off deadlines in both the MDR and IVDR have been removed with the adoption of this Regulation; previously, before the amendment was made, devices placed on the EU market and still in the supply chain but not yet put into service would have to be withdrawn after the sell-off deadline passed.

This webinar will help you gain a better understanding of what action you will need to take and when so that you can make use of the extension under Regulation (EU) 2023/607. You will learn which documentation will need to be kept ready for Competent Authorities and Economic Operators (such as the EU Authorized Representative) to ensure manufacturers can justify their legacy devices can remain in the market during the extended transition period.
