Course Overview

 

Technical documentation (technical files) is the foundation of regulatory compliance for medical devices, providing evidence that a device meets all applicable safety and performance requirements under both the EU MDR (2017/745) and UK MDR (2002, as amended).

 

This course provides a comprehensive overview of how to compile, structure, and maintain technical documentation in line with MDR expectations and Notified/Approved Body requirements. Participants will gain insight into the required documentation, conformity assessment routes, document control best practices, and how to prepare for regulatory audits and reviews.

 

Interactive examples and group exercises will help attendees understand how to apply the regulations to real-world documentation challenges and ensure ongoing compliance across the device lifecycle.
