How The EU MDR Will Change The Medical Device Industry Forever [Podcast]

Our CEO Renaud is joined again by Clive Greenwood, a China-based product compliance expert, to discuss the new EU MDR.
We all heard about the Wild West of PPE imports in the early days of the pandemic where worrying amounts of substandard PPE was imported into countries desperate for supplies, even though they provided dubious protection against infection. As you’ll hear, the new MDR makes manufacturers and importers accountable for what they bring in and will allow authorities to find, enforce, and prosecute infractions more easily.

So, let’s get into how this new compliance standard for medical devices could affect you today and how it’s set to form a template for future standards.
