Since the MDR has been in force for some time, and the deadline for submitting an application to the Notified Body as of May 26, 2024 has passed, it is time for another extensive session in which we actually get to work. The session is 1-day, during which lunch will be provided.

The topic of this workshop session is the future of medical devices in Europe: to this end, we will start with a plenary part in which speakers from different angles will give their point of view on the future of medical devices in Europe.In the afternoon, we will dive into the practical approach during three separate workshops.

  • Clinical evaluation for AI medical device software
  • High-risk combination products Medical devices – pharma
  • Sustainability and medical devices.

There are two rounds of workshops, so it is possible to attend two different workshops. Use cases are welcome!

Note the majority of the workshops and presentations will be conducted in Dutch with one workshop conducted in English language.
