SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (PRWEB) April 19, 2018 -- USDM Life Sciences, the leading risk management, technology innovation and business process optimization firm for the life sciences and healthcare industries, announces a live workshop on the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) with Jay Crowley and Wellington Merritt.

- When: Thursday, April 26, 2018, 11am PT / 2pm ET / 6pm GMT
- Who: Jay Crowley, VP of UDI Services and Solutions and Wellington Merritt, MDR R&D Program Manager at USDM Life Sciences

“I’m looking forward to this workshop, where we will discuss the new EU MDR regulations from a program implementation standpoint,” said Jay Crowley, VP of UDI Services and Solutions at USDM Life Sciences. “As 2020 approaches, there are many worthwhile conversations to be had about the remediation and implementation challenges posed by the regulations.”
The new EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) entered into force on 25 May 2017, which means the transition period from the Directives has already started. The new regulation’s date of application is 26 May 2020. The deadline is approaching. Have you planned your required remediation and implementation activities? Will you be compliant? Will you continue to distribute devices in the EU?
The discussion will include:
- The compliance dates - especially the requirements due by 26 May 2020
- Strategies for addressing and complying with this complex regulation
- Requirements for “legacy” devices with a valid MDD/AIMD certificate
- Requirements for class I, “new,” and devices with expiring certificates
- Live Q & A session
Jay Crowley is the Vice President of UDI Services and Solutions at USDM Life Sciences.
