The Regulatory Affairs Professionals Society (RAPS) along

partnering for their second joint workshop. The workshop will discuss different
regional approaches to combination products. By bringing together Regulatory
Affairs professional leaders, the workshop will provide a consistent global approach
regarding the most pressing topics you need to know about MDR and 'combination'
products. Our diverse panel of speakers includes representatives of the
European Commission, Member State medicinal and medical device authorities,
Notified Bodies, FDA officials, and industry experts to explore the complex
issue of MDR.
This workshop will include a full review of the changes MDR
will bring and explore the impact of the MDR on:
- Legislative background and state of play guidance and interpretation
- Device primary mode of action
- Drug primary mode of action
- Stakeholder discussion and conclusions
