A World Apart Understanding Differences in E.U. and U.S. Medical Device Adverse Event Reporting
Product Details
The FDA recently estimated that more than 10,000 adverse event reports for medical devices are submitted annually in the U.S., with an even higher number reported in the E.U.
Failure to understand adverse event reporting in either the U.S. or the E.U. can result in faulty clinical trials and warning letters.
Make an important decision today. Learn how to bulletproof your adverse event reporting protocols by attending this upcoming webinar.

Put down your pencil ... but don’t relax. The real-life stakes are high — much, much higher than in a pop quiz.
If you market medical devices in E.U. countries — and who doesn’t? — you need to know E.U. regulations as thoroughly as you understand FDA regulations.
Bet you don’t, though. So here’s how to get a running start.
Mark your calendar for Tuesday, April 12, when FDAnews presents A World Apart: Understanding Differences in E.U. and U.S. Medical Device Adverse Event Reporting.
Two experienced lawyers — one in Washington, Steven Datlof, MD, JD, the other in Brussels, Elisabethann Wright, BL — will lead the session and spell out where and how FDA and EMA rules differ ... and where they’re similar.
In just 90 minutes, you’ll discover key areas of compliance, as well as penalties for failing to observe them. You’ll learn:
- Specifics of the European Medical Devices Vigilance System and FDA’s MDR rules, 21 CFR Part 803
- Similarities and differences in incident reporting under the E.U. and U.S. systems
- How to perfect your reporting procedures to work under both U.S. and E.U. rules
- The most common EMA reporting errors and how to avoid them
- Consequences of not meeting your reporting obligations under each system, and risks of under-reporting and over-reporting
- How to ensure patient safety and avoid the penalties of noncompliance
- And much more
