New Medical Device and In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation in the EU: What You Need to Know to Make the Right EU& US Market Entry Decisions
Following the “scandals” related to metal-on-metal artificial hips and faulty silicone breast implants, the European Commission put forward a draft legislative proposal in 2012 to revise the medical device and in vitro diagnostic regulations to improve patient safety while encouraging medical device innovation.
The Commission intends to do this by:
- Extending the scope and reclassification of devices and in vitro diagnostics
- Pre-market scrutiny for high risk devices
- Reinforced rules for clinical evidence
- Tightening post-market surveillance
- Increasing traceability via UDI system to enhance post-market safety requiring manufacturers hire a person responsible for regulatory compliance
- Strengthening supervision of notified bodies by authorities
While preparing for a more robust regulatory regime in the EU, you must also keep an eye on the FDA in the wake of the U.S. presidential election. The new administration is signaling the need for quick action across all industries and the president campaigned on the importance of clearing up the FDA’s backlog of product approvals.
Join Michael M. Gaba — Life Science Partner, Holland & Knight LLP, USA — and Shayesteh Fürst-Ladani — founder and CEO, SFL Regulatory Affairs & Scientific Communication Ltd., Switzerland — for a discussion on the biggest anticipated changes to the EU and U.S. medical device framework and their impact on global go to market strategies, including the extent to which a company can harmonize its regulatory effort for the global market.
