This webinar will help you gain a better understanding of manufacturer responsibilities for clinical evaluation under the MDR, the clinical evaluation process including related Medical Device Coordination Group (MDCG) guidance on equivalence (MDCG 2020-5) and legacy devices (MDCG 2020-6), additional processes/documentation related to clinical evaluation and current experience in the MDR transition period.
The scrutiny of clinical evaluations by Notified Bodies has increased with the EU Medical Devices Regulation 2017/745 (MDR). This scrutiny leaves some companies at risk for observations and nonconformities when transitioning from the Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC (MDD) to MDR.
