    This isn't surprising. There should be more requests for extensions for both the new MDR and IVDR regulations. I do not think many realize the bottlenecks that will be caused, in addition to the already depleted and constrained resources due to the global pandemic. Really there should have been a more organized approach to this by requiring a phased approach or even requiring certain classes of devices, certain countries or by the company's first initials to transition first then another after that, into the new regulations.

    Let's see if the NBs will be able to keep up and still do a good job.

    The current approach: "Bottom-up" is wrong. All NB should have been required to set a plan for all their devices a schedule for MDR review. Rather than an ad hoc scramble of companies vying to get into a schedule for review the NB should be in control and dictating the process. 

    As I present to investors and the C Level it's embarrassing to not know when we will be MDR reviewed. It feels like Black Friday in the USA when the stores open their doors and shoppers trample one another to get the prized gifts.
