Based on the amount of questions we're receiving around the definition of a Well-Established Technology (WET), evidence suggests there's a lot of confusion and in turn, potential impact to the industry. The MDR didn't provide a definition, however, the MDCG-6 Guidance on sufficient clinical evidence for legacy devices now provides a definition and further details around sufficient clinical evidence for WET and non-WET devices. Even with this guidance, we're still seeing debate between device companies and their notified bodies on what is classified as WET.
In this show, we'll provide our current thinking on this debate and some tips for interacting with your notified body. As always, please bring your questions to the live discussion!
