About the EU Medical Device Regulation
EU Medical Device Regulation introduces the essential structure, requirements, and practical implications of Regulation (EU) 2017/745 for professionals working with medical devices in Europe. This course explains how the MDR shapes classification, conformity assessment, economic actor responsibilities, clinical and technical evidence, and post-market obligations required for placing and maintaining medical devices on the EU market.
You will gain a practical understanding of how the MDR differs from the former Directives and how it affects market access, technical documentation, device classification, conformity routes, and lifecycle compliance. The course explores the structure of the regulation, Annex VIII risk classification, the main conformity assessment pathways, General Safety and Performance Requirements, the roles of economic actors and the PRRC, and core post-market surveillance and vigilance duties.
