Workshop scope

The workshop aims to create an international interdisciplinary exchange of ideas and approaches between legislators, regulators and manufacturers in the field of medical devices with a measurement function.

It will concentrate on two main aspects:

- The harmonisation of the different national approaches towards ensuring that instruments conform to EU (and            other) legislation. This is particularly important in the field of medicine

- The measurements needed for medical devices, and how they feed into market surveillance

Workshop topics

Topics to be discussed at the workshop include:

• EU and national medical device legislation (MDD, MDR, national legislations)
• International standards versus common specifications
• Regulations for placing on the market versus national regulation for devices in operation (periodic verification)
• Development of common verification strategies for medical devices in operation
• Classical metrology versus medical metrology
• Establishment of a European network for medical devices with a measuring function to underpin the harmonisation of requirements

Additionally, a round table and panel discussion will be held.
