Having a facility certified to produce medical devices for sale in Europe is only the first step. Regulations newly in force say the Notified Body must audit devicemakers at least once every three years, and these audits will focus less on the facility and more on the devices themselves. These audits are unannounced and, depending on size, could take anywhere from a few days to several weeks. If a manufacturer fails one, they’ll be at risk of having their devices lose their CE mark, meaning manufacturers be barred from selling them in the EU until the problem is corrected.
Things to know:
• Who TÜV, DEKRA and BSI are and why manufacturers should be working with one of them?
• Whether each device is classified as I, IIA, IIB, or III?
• Which classes will require a design dossier or a technical file?
• The difference between horizontal and vertical standards?
• Which of those standards apply to each device, and the last time they were updated?
• The specific kinds of objective evidence auditors will expect to see?
• What factors could lead to more frequent audits?
If a manufacturers can’t give a confident “yes!” to every one of those questions, Roberta Goode’s webinar will provide the answers they need. Don’t risk having costly obstacles come between the devices and the European market.
This webinar is just a sample of the valuable information attendees will learn from Ms. Goode and many other speakers at FDAnews’ Tenth Annual FDA Inspections Summit on Nov. 4-6, 2015 in Bethesda, MD.
