Medical Device News – March 2020 Review (EU MDR)
In this episode of the Podcast, I will provide you with the situation for the month of march 2020 and what should happen next.
As you may know we are in the beginning of a pandemic and this is really a stressful situation for all countries worldwide. So this episode will also show you some elements that should be interesting for you to know during this period.
We will also discuss about the Notified Body Situation. There is a new Notified Body that was announced but this is not enough. We need more. Let’s see the numbers.
I will also list the MDCG guidances and regulatory updates that were released.
Finally, we will review what happened at Easy Medical Device during that month.
