15:40-16:30 Daniel Rubisoier: Test Your Expertise: Classification of Devices under Regulation (EU) 2017/745 for medical devices

The MDR (EU) 2017/745 classifies medical devices into four risk classes: I, IIa, IIb, and III. Classification depends on the device’s intended purpose and the rules in Annex VIII. It directly affects application, documentation, conformity procedures and certification. To avoid confusion or delays, we take a closer look at what really matters in the classification process.
