Medical Device Regulatory Update – February 2020
On this Regulatory Update, we will talk about many diverse topics but here is an outline.
First, we will review the Coronavirus situation and I will also provide you with some fun facts that are happening.
Then we will talk about MDCG committee. We’ll review the guidance issued and the topics they will discuss during this march meeting.
After that, we will discuss the Notified Body Situation. How many are available? Who are the new ones?
Finally, we’ll review some US guidance that are issued and even a Ban of a certain device.
I will also take the opportunity of this review to review all the topics that were discussed on the podcast, and also the LinkedIn Live.
I really hope this will be informative to you.

Thanks Monir! As always, very helpful to hear a summary from you.
Any news about when expert panel list will be published?
Thanks Marta, The Expert Panel should be a topic of the MDCG meeting. I would love to participate to this as I am sure there are a lot of interesting information that is shared.
Thank you Mr Monir. I am a student of Regulatory Affairs, and for me to get such useful insights into my favourite topic of medical devices was indeed a good investment of time. You were really helpful in providing me right information on MDR in various countries.
