Program Overview
This expert-led program equips medical device professionals with the knowledge and tools to create, maintain, and defend MDR-compliant technical documentation. Covering Annex II & III requirements, the integration of risk management (ISO 14971), clinical evaluation (CER), and post-market surveillance (PMS/PMCF) data, the course blends conceptual clarity with real-world case studies and interactive workshops. Participants will gain actionable strategies to structure robust technical files, close compliance gaps, and respond confidently to Notified Body audits, ensuring both regulatory success and smoother market access.
