Course Overview

 

The Notified Body Opinion (NBOp) is a critical requirement under the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) for medicinal products incorporating a medical device component. It ensures that the device part of a combination product complies with relevant safety and performance requirements.

 

This course provides a step-by-step guide to the NBOp process, including regulatory expectations, dossier preparation, interactions with Notified Bodies, and common pitfalls. Through case examples and practical advice, participants will gain confidence in managing NBOp procedures effectively to support successful submissions.
