What You Will Learn

With a variety of new requirements detailed in EU MDR, integrating the clinical, regulatory, risk management, and post-market documentation is a difficult and confusing task for organizations of all sizes. Most medical device manufacturers are now familiar with the general requirements, but there are still plenty of stumbling blocks, including a long list of overlapping requirements and consistent information that must be included in a variety of plans and reports.

In this webinar, we briefly explain how the data inputs and outputs for these documents are interrelated and provide guidance on how to share information throughout the organization to streamline processes and ensure consistency.

Notified bodies expect to see consistent information across all documentation, but with multiple teams working on different elements, the reality is that many manufacturers are encountering:

• Inefficiencies through duplication of effort
• Notified body findings because of inconsistencies
• Missed deadlines due to of lack of coordination between teams

Using five common MDR certification scenarios, this webinar will provide best practices and processes such as:

• Understanding the annual CER lifecycle
• Creating related documents concurrently
• Strategizing for literature search plans and reports
• Knowing what data must be collected and assigning responsibility
