Unter Post-Market Surveillance – PMS (Überwachung nach dem Inverkehrbringen) versteht man einen pro-aktiven und systematischen Prozess im Qualitätsmanagementsystem, um aus Informationen über die Qualität, die Leistung und die Sicherheit eines Medizinproduktes, das bereits in Verkehr gebracht wurde, die erforderlichen Schlussfolgerungen zu ziehen und etwaige Präventiv- oder Korrekturmaßnahmen zu implementieren.

Mit der MDR/IVDR erfolgt ein wesentlich stärkerer Fokus auf die Überwachung nach dem Inverkehrbringen. Aber auch alle anderen relevanten Regelwerke wie die ISO 13485:2016 und die ISO 14971:2019 verlangen eine Post-Market Surveillance.

Dieses Seminar gibt einen Überblick über die aktuellen regulatorischen Anforderungen zu diesen wichtigen Themen.

About the training

The course will present the requirements of the EN ISO 13485:2016 standard for the quality management system in the production of medical devices (and related services) and related legislation applicable to the field of medical devices.

Medical devices placed on the market must comply with the Regulation (EU) 2017/745, which applies to each individual product of a particular type or model and it has in certain areas has a significant impact on both the QMS and the devices themselves.

Intention

The basic purpose of the standards is to facilitate the harmonization of legal requirements applicable to this area. In the course you will gain knowledge that will help you in:

• establishing and / or maintaining a quality management system,
• preparation of documentation or technical files for medical devices,
• obtaining the CE certificate for medical devices,
• effective implementation of internal audits.

Content

• Review of the requirements of EN ISO 13485: 2016; Medical devices – Quality management system – Requirements for legislative purposes
• Comparison with ISO 9001 requirements, with emphasis on specific requirements for development, infrastructure and working environment, traceability, and reporting
• Risk management
• Familiarization with the requirements of the medical directive and the activities necessary to meet the requirements
• Regulation (EU) 2017/745
• Internal auditing – purpose, planning, preparation, implementation, reporting
• Case study: recording of nonconformities and simulation of assessment
• Written knowledge test

At the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the requirements of ISO 13485:2016 for medical products and related services

About the training

What are in vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical devices?

IVD medical devices are tests used on biological samples (such as tissue, blood, or urine) to determine a person’s health. There is a very wide range of IVD medical devices, from pregnancy self-testing aids, blood glucose meters to HIV tests, blood group tests and various types of cancer tests. Unlike medical devices or IVD pharmaceuticals, medical devices never come into contact with a person and do not treat patients but provide information about the functioning of the body. IVD medical devices do not cause direct harm, but they pose a very high risk if their use leads to misdiagnosis. A detailed definition of IVD medical devices is given in Regulation (EU) 2017/746, Article 2.

The IVDR replaced the IVDD (In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Directive 98/79/EC) on 26 May 2022 and applies in all EU Member States and EFTA countries. This means that economic operators wishing to obtain the CE marking for their products or to market their products in Europe have to comply with a new set of stricter, more demanding and more complex requirements with which their products must comply. With the IVDR, the European Commission aims in particular to create a robust, transparent, sustainable and internationally recognised regulatory framework that will improve the clinical safety, quality and reliability of IVD medical devices and ensure fair market access for manufacturers, healthcare professionals and end-users.

This means that economic operators wishing to receive the CE mark for their products or to market their products in Europe will encounter a new set of requirements that are generally stricter, more demanding, more complex, and time-consuming than those currently required to comply with. With the IVDR, the European Commission wants to create a solid, transparent, sustainable, and internationally recognized regulatory framework that will improve the clinical safety, quality and reliability of IVD medical devices and ensure fair market access for manufacturers, healthcare professionals and end-users.

At the seminar, we will present the new requirements of Regulation (EU) 2017/746 which are important for manufacturers, authorized representatives, importers and distributors of in vitro diagnostic medical devices in the European Union, and for professionals involved in quality management systems, including IVD medical devices.

Content

• Overview of Regulation (EU) 2017/746 and definitions
• Obligations of economic operators
• Classification and conformity assessment
• Safety and efficacy requirements (Annex I – GSPR)
• Requirements for technical documentation
• Unique Identification System (UDI) and EUDAMED
• Post-market surveillance and vigilance
