IVDR Technical Documentation Pre-conference Workshop

The assessment of the Technical Documentation (TD) is a central part of the conformity assessment and currently many deficiencies are identified during the assessment of TD files. Some of the deficiencies reflect the lack of consideration of requirements that impact all aspects of TD e.g. risk management documentation being out of date and make the approval of the TD very difficult. This is a particular problem for round one files/queries/deficiencies.
The aim of this workshop is to review NB expectations; it is also planned to review the Team NB TD Best Practice document for IVDR published 01 March 2023.
A successful transition to the IVDR within the regulation timeline is critical for all Manufacturers (and NB) that are intending to place/continue to place IVD Medical Devices in the EU market. It is also critical to ensure patients in the EU have access to safe and state of the art IVD medical devices.
Consistent and higher quality TD files will facilitate the assessment by NB and positively impact the speed at which the conformity assessment can be completed. This will also allow more predictable timelines for both Manufacturers and NB.
The agenda of the workshop is as follows:
