RQM+Live_78__On_Demand_Knowledge_Center

If you have ever thought to yourself "I wonder what the notified body is thinking?" ...this is a conversation you want to hear.

The involvement of notified bodies under the previous IVD directive was limited to a small number of analytes and device types. As a result, many IVD manufacturers have never worked with a notified body and are now trying to understand how notified bodies operate and navigate the complex path towards IVDR certification.

In this conversation, Margot Borgel, RQM+ Director of IVD Global Regulatory Affairs, sits down with Head of IVD Notified Body at BSI, Alex Laan. The conversation will explore the inner workings of an IVDR notified body and shine light on how the notified bodies work with other key stakeholders, set expectations for manufacturers, and navigate the constantly changing landscape of IVDR.

By attending this free event, you will gain an understanding of how the notified body operates, which will allow more confident and informed interactions as you move through IVDR certification and beyond.

The discussion will include:

  • How notified bodies interact with competent authorities and other notified bodies
  • How new guidance and changes to IVDR are implemented within the notified body
  • How expectations are set and consistency is maintained for IVDR certification
  • What notified bodies wish manufacturers knew
