Understanding Medical Device Regulations & Design Control

We are proud to announce Richard from QMS Consultancy Ltd is hosting a Medical Device Regulatory Clinic, as part of the wider Demystifying Regulations & Health Economics Mini-Series. Richard will be sharing his experience by defining what it takes to gain Regulatory Compliance for MD’s, IVD’s and Stand-Alone MD Software (SaMD).

Questions answered during the Regulatory Clinic include:

– Is my innovation a Medical Device?

– How do I classify a MD, IVD, SaMD, Digital Technology, Telemedicine etc?

– What is a typical roadmap to Regulatory Compliance?

– What is ISO 13485 (software) and how do I get certified?

– What is meant by Design Control and how does this relate to TRL’s (Technology Readiness Levels)?

Following a 45 minute presentation Richard will throw questions out to the floor. Those wishing to know more and to gain a 1-2-1 assessment of their specific device or technology can book an appointment on Richards calendar from this link.
