On 5 May 2017, the European Commission adopted the Medical Device Regulation 2017/745. The new regulation will come into full application on 26 May 2020. Device manufacturers have the duration of this transition period to update their technical documents and processes to meet the standards.

Come join others from your local regulatory community to hear three different perspectives on the impact these changes will have for manufacturers.
