Overview

In addition to EU MDR 2017/745, numerous other EU regulations and national regulations apply to the development, approval and documentation of digital medical devices with AI components, the sheer number of which can make even well-informed manufacturers and developers lose track. In addition, various legal deadlines expire or have already expired by 2031, with further requirements to be met with each deadline. For example, the AI Act is already legally binding and applicable, while the regulations on the European Health Data Space (EHDS) have several transitional periods. It is also often unclear what exactly the legislator means by a digital medical device and how an AI component affects the requirements. It should also be borne in mind that digital products that become part of a critical infrastructure must comply with the NIS2 Directive or the KRITIS Umbrella Act. This seminar systematically guides you through the requirements for digital medical devices with AI components in the regulatory role of manufacturer and contract developer. It provides you with a structured approach on how to comply with and apply the current and future regulations.

The development and marketing of digital medical devices with AI components is subject to numerous European regulations. In addition to the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR), the AI Act, data protection requirements (GDPR) and standards such as IEC 62304, ISO 14971 and ISO/IEC 42001 are increasingly coming into focus.

This compact 4-hour specialist course provides manufacturers, developers and quality managers with a systematic overview of the regulatory requirements that must be observed when developing and placing AI-based medical software on the market in Europe.
