Overview of IVD Regulations in the US, EU and Canada

Why Should You Attend:

Small companies typically are unable to hire the necessary regulatory and quality staff to adequately understand the regulations in the US, EU and Canada and to have productive interactions with regulators. Typically, these companies hire consultants to educate them on these regulations. For a small fee, the attendee of this webinar can obtain a broad overview of the IVD regulations in these three markets and bring back these concepts to their company.
