Software as a Device: What You Need to Know About the New MDD

The current landscape of device regulations, as directed by the MDD, has undergone some substantial changes. The directive, published in April 2007, becomes a requirement in March of 2010. MDD: 93/42/EEC defines new regulatory challenges for device manufacturers groups and notified bodies, specifically in post market surveillance and vigilance.

It is time to start planning for the new requirements of the new MDD. Classification rules have been modified with some former devices now falling into higher class ratings, essential requirements have been changed, stricter definitions relating to medical devise, and more controls on software are jut some of the major changes.

Software as a Device: What You Need to Know About the New MDD is presented by Eric Henning, Sr. Project Manager, of KEMA. For more details on this audio conference, please visit our site www.fxconferences.com
