The EU MDR is a comprehensive and complex regulation that combines all aspects of placing certain types of medical devices on the EU market into one regulation. It addresses the obligations of economic operators in this role, and provides for extensive databases, clinical requirements, classifications, conformity, and many defined relationships between agencies, member states, and other directives and regulations.

This webinar deconstructs the many parts of this regulation into the elements of lean documents and lean configuration, providing an opportunity to apply these principles as a way to create and maintain flexibility as this and new harmonized standards and regulations emerge.

We will discuss the importance of complying with FDA requirements for validation of systems using technologies that have been emerging for the past couple of decades. While FDA is planning to overhaul their own infrastructure to gain efficiencies, they are also encouraging industry to take advantage of newer technology and systems. These include cloud-based systems, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), artificial intelligence, and others.

We’ll talk about taking a risk-based approach to validation, and how to implement newer capabilities such as electronic records and electronic signatures. We’ll also cover the importance of meeting data integrity compliance.
