    ​Hi,

    our Company has ist own Office for this Kind of Topics. I also asked around to get an insight how that's linked and going to be implemented in conjunction with the MDR.

    In General maybe helpful but for sure there is much more on the Internet:

    Youch! Anxious if people have not heard of this!

    Almost by definition, if a product is a medical device in Europe, the data is health data under the GDPR. You need the right people identified and the right processes in place including special officers or contract services within the EU. Despite being an EU regulation, there are country to country differences as the agencies are different. The fines are potentially crippling for a large company as they are based on percentage of turnover. So talk to an EU lawyer, IT Specialist or RA Consultant that has been dealing in the issue. Happy to provide intros off line, but if you really have not heard of GDPR and hold personal or healthcare data in the EU or on EU citizens you really need to make this your #1 priority now!

    Good luck!
