Finding, connecting to and working with a MDR designated Notified Body (NB) has a specific trajectory. For many medtech companies this process can currently feel as far away as the moon, particularly SMEs. From the launch to your destination, we are sharing a workshop that can deliver greater insight into this process for manufacturers.
What is a Tactical Session?
This is a hands-on and interactive workshop designed by The Tao of Excellence to deliver immediate insight into specialised topics, leaving you with a series of deliverables that are developed during the session and a plan of action you can be implemented the next day.
This is a proven and well-developed workshop format with an original structure that delivers an in-depth understanding and a tactical strategy by the end of the session.
The topic
This event is dedicated to advising medical device manufacturers on how to:
- identify the right Notified Body for your product portfolio;
- connect with the NB and develop a strong regulatory strategy;
- collaborate with the NB to ensure your certification.
For medical device manufacturers, collaborating with a Notified Body poses new challenges such as, which NB is right for your product? How can you successfully connect with an NB and maintain a good partnership in the long term?—especially given the scarcity of designated NBs. And as an SME, what should you be doing now to ensure that your transition to the MDR / IVDR runs as smoothly as possible?
I will be presenting with our Quality Implementation Manager Deepa Rajagopalan to get to the root of these questions, and we are delighted to be joined by Roger Roth, the Managing Director of ITS (Industrie- und Technozentrum Schaffhausenand), and Stefan Leuthold, the Cluster Manager HTCS (Health Tech Cluster Switzerland).
