Think it’s easier to launch in Europe with a CE Mark and get FDA clearance later? Then you’ll want to attend http://medgroup.biz/New-CE-Marking-Rules, a free webinar we’re hosting for group members on October 6. The latest adopted draft says you’ll need clinical trials for implantable and Class III devices (there are exceptions; tune in for those). The proposed modifications are a big deal. Getting your Notified Body to accept your device as “equivalent” may not be enough. TUV SUD’s Dr. Bassil Akra will discuss how you’ll need to adjust for EU medical device approval and post-approval processes.
