Key Takeaways

"Understanding your device is crucial."

"Inconsistency is a top non-conformity."

"ISO 13485 is a basis, not the end."

EU MDR implementation is progressing slowly, with many applications still pending certification.

Understanding the intended purpose and characteristics of a device is crucial for classification.

Data collected outside Europe can be used if relevant to the European population.

Technical documentation must be consistent and comprehensive to avoid non-conformities.

Manufacturers must control their suppliers to ensure compliance with regulations.

Financial constraints should not compromise the quality and safety of medical devices.
