Content

The seminar provides an overview of the applicable laws that apply in this regulated environment.

From a regulatory perspective, what is a medical device and how does it differ from other types of products? What special types of medical devices and what classification are there and what constitutes them? When are medical devices marketable? What requirements does a medical device manufacturer have to meet? What role do the other economic actors (EU representative, importer and dealer) as well as authorities and notified bodies play?

This seminar also addresses the post-marketing phase. What obligations apply to the manufacturer, the dealer and the user? What reporting requirements exist? How should cooperation with doctors and clinics be structured? The liability risks for companies and employees are identified in preparation for the in-depth seminar on “liability”.
