Medical Device Update

Webinar

28 March 2022

At our Medical Devise Update Webinar in 2022 our lawyers discussed some of the most important things you should be aware of by now, if you are operating in the medical device sector in Germany.

First Jörg Schickert, Arne Thiermann and Matthias Schweiger took a closer look at the European Medical Device Regulation (MDR), focusing on the economic operators and their external responsibilities, inter-company agreements and supply chain structures. They further discussed the internal distribution of tasks between responsible parties and quality management, and also had a look on the product safety and product liability context of the MDR.

In the second part of the webinar Jörg Schickert, Arne Thiermann, Nicole Böck and Martin Pflüger then turned their attention to digitalization and digital medical devices and discuss responsibilities from a regulatory and product liability perspective, the current regulatory framework of artificial intelligence, as well as the topics of cyber security and data protection. Last but not least, Michael Penners gave a short overview of advertising digital medical devices and the legal defence therefore.
