Health Business Breakfast – The jungle of rules and regulations in medical device development and manufacturing
Welcome to listen, discuss and network with the professionals in the field! The aim of the event is to discuss about the practical application of the regulatory requirements in medical device development and manufacturing.
Time and place:
Tuesday, 3rd October, 8.30-11.00, Technopolis Upswing Oulu (Elektroniikkatie 3)
Topic:
How to ensure the practical application of the regulatory requirements are met throughout the device whole lifecycle.
More information:
The design and manufacturing of medical devices is more challenging than engineering work and factory production of e.g. consumer electronics. Taking all the quality and official regulations into consideration is time-consuming - and it requires considerable expertise.
In addition to quality management systems, which every medical device manufacturer must have, the regulatory requirements concerning medical devices are very strict and complicated, both in Finland and in international markets. EU’s medical device directive describes how a manufacturer of medical devices has to operate. In addition, the operation is regulated by Finnish legislation on healthcare equipment, as well as FDA regulations that apply to manufacturers who export their products to the American market. All the other country-specific laws need to be taken into account as well.
In other words, it is not enough to have a good end-product. The development and production processes also have to fulfill certain criteria. The companies must also be able to verify that they operate according to these requirements.
