This Directive not only affected the Medical Device Directive but also amended Council Directive 90/385/EEC relating to active implantable medical devices, and Directive 98/8/EC concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market. As part of this directive, additions were made to the Annex I of the MDD which is the Essential Requirements. The implementation date of the new Directive is March 2010 and device manufacturers marketing devices into the EU will need to comply on that date. Planning for this implementation should be happening now. One major addition to the Essential Requirements is the inclusion of Clinical Data. Another addition is "For devices which incorporate software or which are medical software in themselves, the software must be validated according to the state of the art taking into account the principles of development lifecycle, risk management, validation and verification". This webinar will review the changes to MDD Annex I and the Essential Requirements along with an in depth look at all of the Essential Requirements. Using examples from experience in the submission of technical files which included Essential Requirements, the speaker will provide you with information which can be used for your devices. As an integral part of your technical files it is important that you can demonstrate compliance to the Essential Requirements. This webinar will assist in your achievement of this requirement.
