Surveillance of pre-MDR devices in EU to transition from legacy regulatory system

Nov. 18, 2021
By Mark McCarty

MDCG has clarified that these devices will be subject to postmarket surveillance requirements under the MDR system rather than the previous system, although it is not a simple process to determine when this approach does and does not apply.
