What should the medical device industry expect in 2018?
Great question.
From ISO 13485 being revised in 2016, the EU MDR / IVDR being revised in 2017, and the MDSAP program going live in 2017, regulatory changes have been rampant and significant for medical device professionals.
This presentation covers:
- Why you should expect it to be harder for devices to get to market and stay there in the EU
- How to avoid the mad dash to update ISO 13485 certification before the deadline
- Where the latest revision of ISO 14971 is and when to expect the next update
- About Health Canada and their MDSAP deadline
- Why companies are shifting from being compliance-focused to quality-focused

25. Dr. Jeffrey Shuren, director of the FDA’s
Center for Devices and Radiological
Health, affirmed the Case for Quality’s
role in advancing solutions to ensure
patient access to high quality medical
devices and the FDA’s commitment to
their shared goal to improve patient
outcomes.
26. Case for Quality Initiative has one main goal: affording patient’s
access to high quality medical devices .
From Dr. Shuren:
“. . . compliance with FDA quality system regulations is not enough . . .”
“. . . FDA's purely regulatory approach that focuses on compliance with quality system
regulation may create disincentives for device makers to innovate device quality . . ."
“. . . shifting the focus from the minimum operational compliance requirements laid out in our
regulations to a higher sustained level of quality can provide end-users with a better product
and greater return on investment and quality for device companies through fewer recalls and
adverse events and greater consumer confidence in their products . . ."
