All training opportunities

MDR Suite

The European Medical Device Regulation (EU-MDR 2017/745), officially published on May 5, 2017, and enforced on May 25, 2017, mandates stringent requirements for medical device manufacturers and Notified Bodies involved in the approval process. With the transition deadline extended to May 26, 2021, all manufacturers of Class I to III medical devices must swiftly adapt to the new regulatory landscape. The EU-MDR introduces significant changes, including reclassifications, new conformity assessment routes, and heightened safety and compliance standards, affecting all classes of medical products.

Qserve offers comprehensive training covering every aspect of MDR implementation, equipping you with the necessary skills and knowledge for a smooth transition.

US Regulations

Securing Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance is essential for marketing medical device products in the United States. Therefore, medical device companies must carefully navigate the regulatory landscape to determine the optimal path for bringing their products to market. Understanding the requirements and timeline for completing the 510(k) process is crucial for successful submission and market entry.

Our US Regulations training options: 

  • 21 CFR 820 QSR

China Regulations

Since the overhaul of the Chinese Medical Device Regulation in 2014, the regulatory landscape has undergone numerous updates, encompassing rules, technical guidance, and standards. To sell medical devices and in vitro diagnostics in the Chinese market, manufacturers must secure device registration with the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA).

A governmental reorganization has seen the integration of the former regulatory body, CFDA (China Food & Drug Administration), into the new CNDA (China National Drug Administration), signaling potential changes to the existing regulatory framework. The emergence of requirements such as clinical evidence, China Agents, and overseas inspections presents both opportunities and challenges for foreign medical device manufacturers.
