    EU perspective on Medical Devices in 2021: Analysis of the NEW requirements by the MDR & BREXIT

    Sponsored by Obelis Academy

    2021 is expected to be a unique year by the coming into force of 2 major events within the sector of medical devices in the European Market:
    January 1st 2021 - The final departure of the UK from the European single market (BREXIT)
    May 26th 2021 - The coming into force of the NEW Medical Device Regulation (MDR).  

    The MHRA (UK Authority on medical devices) has recently published a guidance document covering the post-Brexit era, giving a new outlook of the long awaited UK regulations to be applied to medical device manufacturers wishing to place their devices on the UK market after January 1st. The MDR introduces a complete set of NEW requirements which require on average 18 months of preparatory work to achieve compliance – with only 6 months to the Date of Application (DoA), manufacturers must ensure they have taken all necessary actions.
