Special focus on IVDs

This year the implementation period of the MDR will pass the halfway point and the IVDR industry is getting to grips with the monumental change that the IVDR will entail. The first drafts of national implementing legislation are circulating so the post ‘date of application” picture under the MDR and IVDR is becoming clearer, which allows companies to finetune their implementation and transition programs. At the same time, the notified bodies are jockeying for MDR and IVDR certification and working on their Brexit plan Bs. The number of notified bodies applying for designation under the IVDR is lower than expected and many notified bodies may not be notified under the MDR. It is not at all certain that your notified body will be able to grant you an MDR or IVDR certificate in time.
