Health~Holland Webinar | How does the MDR affect you?

An important update for all manufacturers, distributors and importers

If your company places medical devices on the EU market, this is an important session for you. The MDR addresses Economic Operators (EOs), which are the Manufacturer, Authorized Representative, Importer and Distributor (MAID). The MDR doesn’t only requires manufacturers to have control over their distribution chain and to monitor devices once they are introduced in the market. But also requires the importer and distributor to follow the devices and provide PMS data to the manufacturer. What is your role and what do you need to comply with?

During this webinar, Emergo will elaborate on the requirements for EOs and what their role within the PMS system is. What do you need to take into account as a Dutch manufacturer/importer or distributor of medical devices? Participation is free.

What is it about?

The MDR requires manufacturers to have control over their distribution chain and require distributors and importers to co-operate with manufacturers and/or Authorized Representatives. All EOs make part of the manufacturers  PMS system.  What is your role, or do you have multiple roles? And what obligations come with that role? Emergo will tell you all about these new requirements under MDR. During a Q&A you can gain additional in-depth knowledge and advice.
