Opening of the attached position paper · the full paper is on the Commission’s record (source link above)
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.
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.
