Health Tuesday: Lääkinnällisten laitteiden regulaatiot – Uusimpia tuulia lännestä ja idästä (in Finnish)
2022-05-03 12:30 - 19:00
Järjestäjä: Business Finland
Business Finlandin Health Tuesday tekee paluun fyysisenä tapahtumana!
EU:n lääkinnällisten laitteiden asetuksiin (MDR) ja in vitro -diagnostiikan asetuksiin (IVDR) liittyvät haasteet jatkuvat. Uusia suuntaviivoja ja tulkintoja ilmaantuu jatkuvasti, ja useimpien alan yritysten on vaikea pysyä mukana sääntelymaailman uusissa vaatimuksissa. EU:n lainsäädännön uusinta kehitystä on siis edelleen syytä seurata tarkasti. Näin ollen muu maailma on viimeisinä vuosina jäänyt osittain taka-alalle. Tarkoitus on nyt kääntää katseet EU:n lisäksi kahden merkittävimmän markkinan uusien MD regulaatioiden haasteisiin. Mitä uutta kuuluu USA:sta ja Kiinasta?
Olitpa aloittelija tai kokenut lääkinnällisten laitteiden sääntelymaailmassa – tule mukaan kuulemaan viimeisimmistä lääkinnällisten laitteiden sääntelyn vaatimuksista EU:ssa, Yhdysvalloissa ja Kiinassa.
Tapahtuman kieli on suomi ja se järjestetään vain fyysisenä tapahtumana.
