DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “The Medical Device School – From Concept to CE Marking Training Course” conference has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
This comprehensive course has been designed to map the processes from device concept to marketing and show how regulatory, quality, clinical and other aspects of device development are joined into a continuous process.
Bringing a medical device to the marketplace is a complex and lengthy procedure which requires experience, knowledge and specialist skills. The contribution to successful market placement comes from many different skilled individuals and organisations who should be aware of all the stages involved and be able to relate their responsibilities to the needs of other professionals, scientists, clinicians and regulatory and quality experts.
The programme will commence with a general introduction as to what devices are and how they are developed, and continue with lectures, practical workshops and case studies covering each process applicable to device development, marketing and, eventually, postmarket procedures. There will be ample time throughout the five days for informal discussions with our expert faculty and fellow professionals.
Who Should Attend:
This event has been designed primarily for those who wish to understand the processes involved in bringing a medical device to market. General medical devices as well as active implantable, in-vitro diagnostic and drug device products will be covered in the programme.
The course will be of particular interest to those seeking to introduce new medical devices to the market. Previous delegates who have benefited include regulatory, quality, clinical and marketing managers.
