SPECTARIS welcomes the European Commission's targeted MDR/IVDR revision as an important step toward a more workable, proportionate and innovation-friendly regulatory framework, one that keeps patient safety high while easing unnecessary burden on manufacturers, notified bodies and authorities.

What they argued
SPECTARIS welcomes the European Commission’s initiative on the targeted revision of Regulations (EU) 2017/745 (MDR) and (EU) 2017/746 (IVDR). The medical engineering industry in Germany stands for innovation, quality and security of supply. However, the current regulatory environment is increasingly jeopardising the availability of medical devices and in vitro diagnostic medical devices in Europe.

Opening of the attached position paper · the full paper is on the Commission’s record (source link above)
SPECTARIS ist the German industry association for optics, photonics, analytical and medical technology in Berlin. Many products made by our members - such as spectacle lenses, spectacle frames, contact lenses, medical-surgical belts, and bandages - are regulated under the Medical Devices Regulation (EU) 2017/745 and must meet high safety and quality standards.
SPECTARIS expressly welcomes the draft Implementing Regulation for Annex VII to the MDR/IVDR and sees it as an important step towards further stabilising and strengthening the European regulatory framework for medical devices and in vitro diagnostic medical devices.
