CE Premarket Approval

You want to get your product to market as quickly as possible, but to do so, you need to ensure you are complying with the strict regulations mandated across the medical device industry. Failing to do so can put your business—and more importantly, your end-users—at risk. Navigating the murky waters of the European Union’s (EU) conformité européenne (CE) Mark regulatory requirements, and knowing which ones your device is subject to, can be daunting, even for the most established medical device manufacturers. This is especially true with the EU’s transition from the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) system to the In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) system.
