| Breakfast Seminar: Changes to the Medical Device Legislation in Europe – The Impact of Directive 2007/47/EC |
| Regulatory Breakfast Seminar – Supported by Yorkshire Forward and Mediqol Changes to the Medical Device Legislation in Europe – The Impact of Directive 2007/47/EC July 16th 2009, 8.30am – 10.30am, Medilink First Floor, Building 1, 3 Smithy Wood Drive, Smithy Wood Business Park, Sheffield, S35 1QN Is your business prepared for the impact of the changes to the Medical Device Legislation in Europe. Will you be compliant from 21 March 2010? Do you sell medical devices or are you developing Medical devices? If yes then it is likely that you will be affected. |
| The changes to the Medical Devices Directive are the first significant changes in 14 years. The European Commission has officially adopted a new Directive that is of critical importance to most medical device companies selling and/or conducting clinical trials in Europe. The new Directive 2007/47/EC amends parts of the Medical Devices Directive (93/42/EEC), the Active Implantable Medical Devices Directive (90/385/EEC) and the Biocidal Products Directive (98/8/EC). Some of the major changes will require your immediate attention and in order to be in compliance with those changes by March 2010, you should start planning and, in some cases, take action as soon possible. In association with Mediqol, Medilink are delighted to invite you to a breakfast seminar, where you will hear about the changes and how they may effect you, such as the increased need for clinical data, clinical evaluation and post Market Surveillance as part of your technical documentation (including low and medium risk devices).
