Medical device labeling in the EU continues to pose a challenge for manufacturers, who must create compliant Instructions for Use in all required languages. Currently, most Instructions for Use are provided in paper format, which can be very lengthy. The term "e-labeling" refers to innovative means for providing Instructions for Use in an electronic format for medical devices. This is especially the case with IVDs, since these are usually used by healthcare professionals in a clinical environment, with relatively common access to computers and Internet facilities.
However, the latest proposed revisions to Directive 93/42/EEC and Directive 90/385/EEC introduce an amendment to an annex of the directives that will be pivotal for e-labeling, and also for Class IIb and Class III devices. In this audio conference, we look at some of the labeling-related compliance issues faced by medical device manufacturers and the advantages of using e-labeling.
Device e-Labeling & Regulatory Compliance in the EU is being presented by Salma Michor, CEO & Principal Consultant, with Michor Consulting EU and airs on Thursday, June 18, 2009. For more details or to register for this conference, please visit our site at www.fxconferences.com
