Responsibilities and Obligations of Medical Device Manufacturers under the MDR
Are you considering becoming a medical device manufacturer, but aren’t yet sure what responsibilities and obligations you’ll face?
Both before and after the placing on the market of medical devices, there are explicit requirements for the manufacturer, regulated by the Medical Devices Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR). This new regulation also brings with ita whole range of new tasks and obligations for medical device manufacturers and other economic operators.
Therefore, a medical device manufacturer must first gain sufficient clarity regarding the relationship they have with other economic operators and the resulting responsibilities. Additionally, a manufacturer must address the regulatory requirements applicable to them in a timely manner before implementing them in their quality management system and medical devices.
In this training, you will learn what you need to pay attention to as a medical device manufacturer, which requirements you must meet, and what you need to consider regarding other economic operators such as “importers,” “distributors,” and “authorized representatives.”
