Medical Device Regulation: what is it about? The EU’s Medical Device Regulation (MDR) is a hot topic in healthcare since it was officially published on 5th May 2017 and came into effect on 25 May 2017. The MDR replaces the EU Medical Device Directive (93/42/EEC) and the Directive on active implantable medical devices (90/385/EEC). www.prorelixresearch.com
Manufacturers of currently approved medical devices were given a transitional period during which they had to reorganize the operations to meet the requirements of the MDR. An amendment to the MDR was adopted on 24 April 2020 by European Commission, www.prorelixresearch.com
which postponed the application of most of its provisions by one year, until 26 May 2021. However, certain devices that meet special requirements can be granted permission to extend the transition period till the 26th of May 2024. www.prorelixresearch.com
