Why Should you Attend
Medical device manufacturers implement risk management following ISO 14971:2007. In August 2012, the European Union (EU) published a regional variation, EN ISO 14971:2012, that informs of situations where the product directives are more restrictive than the risk management standard.
While the changes has been around for some time, many companies still struggle with the changes, don’t fully understand them, and may get a nonconformance from a Notified Body.
Seven content deviations apply to the Medical Device Directive (MDD). In each case, the wording in the MDD is more restrictive than the requirements of ISO 14971:2007, so the MDD governs. Manufacturers who put the CE Mark on a medical device must bring the risk management file into compliance with the harmonized standard.
