How Manufacturers Can Create a Compliant Technical Documentation (TD)
Two-Day Applied Course
The preparation of Technical Documentation (TD) poses significant challenges for many manufacturers. Those who do not work carefully and fail to meet the regulatory requirements risk time-consuming and costly requests for clarification or corrective actions from Notified Bodies.
Manufacturers of medical devices must compile Technical Documentation for each individual product, as it is a prerequisite for CE marking and market access. Depending on the intended purpose and risk classification, specific requirements must be implemented in the TD. These derive from the General Safety and Performance Requirements (GSPRs) as outlined in Annex I of Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR) and the related applicable harmonized standards, guidance documents, and common specifications.
In this seminar, you will learn not only about the many new and revised requirements but also how to prepare compliant Technical Documentation, avoid common pitfalls with practical advice, and successfully transition or update existing documentation.
