The Medical Device Regulation (MDR) is the legislation detailing the requirements that manufacturers must meet to place medical devices on the market in the European Union.
As more and more manufacturers now have their MDR Quality Management System (QMS) certificates, it’s imperative for continued compliance that they are able to perform audits against the requirements of the QMS MDR.
