MDR & IVDR Online ConferenCe
Instead of the MDR & IVDR Conference, which was postponed to 25 March 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic, an online event will take place in the morning of 15 September 2020. This will enable us to meet the high demand for information on the MDR, the Mutual Recognition Agreement between Switzerland and the European Union and the new national Medical Devices Ordinance (MepV).
