About the training

To prove the conformity of a programmable active medical device or stand-alone software with medical directives, it is necessary to provide safe, effective, and compliant software.In the case of software as a stand-alone medical device or as part of an active medical device, the requirements of EN 62304 standard are used to demonstrate compliance, and the organization must have ISO 13485 quality management system in place.Join our workshop about the requirements of medical directives applicable to medical software and learn how to establish compliance through practical examples.

Rok Hrovatin started assessing the risk of medical devices only a few years before Slovenia’s accession to the EU. The transposition of European directives has established requirements in this area with the Medical Devices Directive (MDD 93/42 / EEC). He gained experience and knowledge as the head of the testing laboratory for medical devices at SIQ, and soon after that also as a leading auditor in the field of medical devices and as a lecturer in this field.

Location: ONLINE

The online workshop will take place in a live online e-classroom. Up to two days before the implementation, registered participants will receive a link to the online training. Participants need a computer with a microphone and a camera, as well as access to a reliably functioning internet connection to participate in online training without interruption.

About the training

Biocompatibility of medical devices is an important characteristic of safe and compliant medical devices. The main steps for ensuring biocompatibility are specified in ISO 10993-1 standard.

Intention

Attendees will participate in a workshop on the preparation of medical device biological evaluation reports covering chemical characterization of materials, documentation preparation, and justification of testing performance or its omission (cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization, systemic toxicity, genotoxicity, carcinogenicity). All these issues will be discussed through practical examples.

Content

Presentation of requirements for biological safety evaluations of medical devices in medical device directives and regulations, as well as ISO 10993-1 and other relevant standards• Review of the ISO 14971 standard in relation to biological safety – preparation of a biological evaluation report concerning biological risks• Methodology and biological evaluation report preparation• Summary of ISO 10993-1 with practical discussions.

Methodology

The workshop is will cover the theoretical basics and requirements through practical examples and an exchange of experiences.Attendees may send their questions at registration prior to the workshop.

About the training

Clinical evaluation is mandatory for all medical devices under the MDR. An important part of the clinical evaluation is the thorough review and evaluation of published clinical data on your medical device and analogous devices. Conducting a systematic literature review helps support the intended use of your device and confirm its safety profile by demonstrating that it poses minimal risks or that its benefits outweigh the potential risks. A comprehensive analysis of published clinical data in peer-reviewed publications, medical guidelines and published reports can also show that your product is superior to existing alternatives. Therefore, a high-quality leterature review with pragmatic approach is needed to produce quality data output for your clinical evaluation report.

Intention

In this workshop you will learn the most important steps for preparing a clinical evaluation of a medical device based on a literature search.

Content

• Optimization of your search term strategy
• Identification of relevant publications
• Reasons for inclusion and exclusion of published data/notes/articles/reports
• Evaluation and weighting of clinical data
• Effective summarization of data
• Use of multiple data sources
• Documentation of references

Methodology

Examples of best practice, exchange of experiences, work on concrete practical examples.
