How to Prepare for the New EU In Vitro Diagnostics Regulations (IVDR)

Agreement was reached on the eagerly awaited new EU In Vitro Diagnostic Regulations (IVDR) earlier this year.

The IVDR will significantly change the way IVDs bear the CE mark, and it will include a completely new risk-based classification system.

Now 80% of all IVDs will need to be certified by a notified body under the IVDR where as before, only 20% needed to under the IVD Directive.

The new IVDR is expected to be formally published in late 2016 or early 2017, and there will be a five-year transition period to be compliant.

Many forward thinking IVD companies are already developing their plans for compliance now to gain strategic advantages over their competitors.

Join us for this free, 90 minute webinar presented by our guest Richard Young, Managing Director at Acclaim Biomedical Consultants, where he will be sharing will you in detail what all the significant changes are and how you can begin preparing for compliance now.
