Key considerations for medtech companies The medical device regulatory landscape in the EU is undergoing significant regulatory change with the adoption of the Medical Devices Regulations 2017/745 ("MDR") and In Vitro Diagnostics Regulation ("IVDR") 2017/746 at its core. Eucharia Commins, Director, Managed Legal Solutions at KPMG, Nicole Walsh, Director, at KPMG Law and Emma Ritchie, Director, Head of Data Protection and Privacy at KPMG Law, explore the main considerations for medtech companies and how to navigate them. The MDR has been applicable since 26 May 2021, and the transition period ended on 26 May 2024. The IVDR has been applicable since 26 May 2022 with a staggered extension of its transition period, ranging from May 2025 to May 2028, depending on the risk categorisation of the device. For ease of reference, we shall refer to MDR and IVDR as the "Regulations". Key changes Increased Control for National Regulators Interaction Changes with Notified Bodies New / Updated Classification Rules New EU Database on Devices (Eudamed) Better Traceability of Medical Devices (UDI) New Clinical Evidence & Safety Requirements Increased Periodic Safety Update and Vigilance Reporting Requirements "The Regulations aim to improve the safety, performance, and transparency of medical devices." The impacts of the new Regulations The impacts of the Regulations are multifaceted, and this article will focus on key considerations for legal and regulatory departments in medtech companies operating in the EU. Risk management The legal team will be required to liaise with risk management colleagues to conduct a comprehensive risk assessment to identify and evaluate potential risks and areas of weakness. Robust risk management procedures will need implementation to address risks and mitigate potential for non-compliance. If necessary, portfolio strategy colleagues may need to engage in portfolio rationalisation. Consideration will also need to be given to ongoing Notified Body capacity across Europe. There is a requirement to comply with data protection regulations (GDPR) in respect of patient data, clinical data, post-market surveillance information and ensure robust consent mechanisms and data security measures are in place. Contracts The Regulations will require a review of contracts with suppliers, distributors, third-party entities, and intercompany agreements. All processes and agreements need to be aligned with the new legal requirements as specified by the Regulations. This includes addressing both pre-marketing and post-marketing requirements, which may necessitate adjustments to processes and agreements. Additionally, it is essential to review all delegations of authority, powers, or obligations within the supply chain to ensure compliance with the Regulations. While the older regulatory regime addressed only the manufacturers and authorised representatives, the new MDR and IVDR directives regulate importers and distributors, targeting the entirety of the supply chain, right up to the end user. To ensure compliance across the channels, agreements must be shared, harmonised and updated in tandem. Quality agreements between MD manufacturers and suppliers must address the new regime. It is advisable to consider adding clauses that mandate the collection of necessary information from all supply chain partners, such as distributors, third-party suppliers, and sub-contractors. Intellectual property With regard to an organisation's intellectual property, it is advisable to review and ensure all company's intellectual property in particular technical documentation, clinical evaluation reports are prepared and maintained in compliance with the Regulations. It is of note that the Regulations impose labelling and UDI (unique device identification) requirements to enhance traceability and identification of medical devices. The Regulations call for accurate product classification. This will determine the appropriate conformity assessment route a...

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is an EU regulation that will apply as of January 17th, 2025. Its goal is to strengthen the overall information and communication technology security of financial entities in the remit of the 3 ESAs and ensuring that the financial sector in Europe is able to stay resilient in the event of a severe operational digital disruption. In this podcast, we hope to learn more about how DORA will specifically impact law firms that work with banks.

Just as US-based multinationals are moving on from the US Securities and Exchange Commission's decision around carbon disclosures with at least some measure of certainty, they will now need to turn to Europe and its Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive. The CSDDD is a proposed European Union (EU) regulation aimed at environmental and human rights issues. The directive obligates large EU companies, as well as non-EU companies operating in the EU, to identify, prevent, mitigate, and account for adverse environmental and human rights impacts throughout their supply chains. In this episode of the podcast week speak with Toon Dictus and associate with the law firm Latham & Watkins in London about the directive and how it could impact U.S companies operating in the EU.

As the European Parliament ramps up preparations for the hearings of candidate European Commissioners in early November, the digital sector has a set of burning questions for Europe's next tech chiefs to answer. At this crucial juncture, the Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA Europe) is launching two publications designed to guide and support the next Commission and new Members of the European Parliament in shaping Europe's digital future. The Digital Innovation Blueprint and Guide to Effective EU Tech Regulation offer concrete recommendations and insights to lawmakers. They come at a pivotal moment, as the EU struggles with regulatory complexity and declining competitiveness - especially in digital. At the core of the Blueprint are important questions that candidate Commissioners must be able to answer in order to drive digital innovation and boost EU competitiveness. Henna Virkkunen, candidate Executive Vice-President for Tech Sovereignty, faces critical questions as overlapping and inconsistent rules consistently hinder digital progress. The landmark Draghi Report also singles out EU over-regulation as one of the main culprits. Hence, tech firms have a pressing question: "Does Virkkunen plan to prioritise proper implementation of existing EU tech rules, and fix what we already have, or will she continue the recent trend of rushing to create even more rules?" Stéphane Séjourné, set to oversee the EU Internal Market, will have to step up the fight against the undermining of the Single Market. We ask: "What do businesses and consumers actually get in return for years of tech regulation? A poorly enforced Single Market with national governments introducing digital barriers and deviating from EU digital rules?" With over 70 new tech rules adopted since 2019, the Guide to Effective EU Tech Regulation makes clear that Europe urgently needs to reflect on lessons learned, ensure more scrutiny and coordination between institutions, and improve (workable) implementation. Indeed, the new Guide offers practical recommendations to improve the overall EU legislative process. On October 2nd, EU lawmakers got an exclusive preview of both publications at CCIA Europe's 15th anniversary celebrations in Brussels. Now they are available for everyone to discover. "Europe's digital agenda needs a fresh start. As Commission and Parliament prepare for a new term, it's time to focus on fostering tech innovation rather than adding regulatory hurdles," said Senior Vice President and Head of CCIA Europe, Daniel Friedlaender. "Unlocking Europe's digital potential is not just a challenge for policymakers, it's an opportunity to deliver benefits for all Europeans. CCIA Europe looks forward to working with the next Commission and new MEPs to ensure that future EU tech regulation is more effective, smarter, and innovation-friendly."

This week on the Tech ONTAP podcast, Adam Gale joins us to discuss the new EU AI regulations and how they may impact you and your business.

Ethiopia's coffee and cut flower industries are grappling with significant challenges due to new EU regulations. From January 2025, producers must comply with the bloc's Due Diligence Act, which mandates strict environmental standards for exporting to Europe. Millions of small-scale coffee farmers will need to demonstrate that their land is free from deforestation, while flower farmers will have to address a pest that threatens European markets or risk exclusion from the trade. This poses a major concern for Ethiopia, which exports 30 percent of its coffee and 8 percent of its flowers to Europe. Adhering to these new EU standards will be a daunting task, as FRANCE 24's Clothilde Hazard and Olivia Bizot report.

Italian economist Pasquale Tridico, newly elected chair of the European Parliament's Subcommittee on Tax Matters, has some fresh ideas to curb tax avoidance, which he says will be one of his top priorities. His committee can't propose legislation or substantially alter it in any way. But the panel has gained influence and exposure over time. Set up soon after the Panama Papers leaks, the committee has become a forum for politicians, companies, researchers, and activists to share opinions and research. And increasingly, policymakers are tuning in. That's the momentum Tridico wants to maintain. He proposes a European registry of assets to limit tax avoidance and to help improve the effectiveness of the global minimum corporate tax rules. Tridico says such a ledger could help ensure the minimum tax rules have more bite. Bloomberg reporter Saim Saeed spoke with Tridico about these plans for the subcommittee, and how they can impact European tax policy. Do you have feedback on this episode of Talking Tax?

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haksins, and Chris Talgo present episode 453 of the In The Tank Podcast. The European Union recently passed a law that would essentially mandate many of the guidelines and metrics of the ESG scheme we have talked much about on this show.

In January 29th, 2024, the EU Commission issued a Proposal that discuss mainly the shortage of Medical Devices, the EUDAMED availability and the IVDR transition periods.

Owen Shroyer is being put in prison for his speech. His statements warn the public that the government will come for them next. We also talk about the suicide of a 22-year-old charged in the J6 events after being there for only 10 minutes and not harming any people or property. In all of this, we can say, 'Praise God!' because He has revealed the nature and scope of the evil being poured on society. Every day, more parents are in righteous rebellion to fight the evil perpetrated against their children, and in the spiritually captured realm of academia, professors are beginning to protest. The WEF's servant, Mark Rutte, has been removed from office because God showed the Dutch people his plan to destroy family farming. Irish farmers are also standing up against the WEF attack on food freedom and family farms. Praise God, and let us keep our rebellions godly lest we fall for Satan's trap. What does God's Word say? Proverbs 28:2-10When a country is rebellious, it has many rulers, but a ruler with discernment and knowledge maintains order. A ruler who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain that leaves no crops.Those who forsake instruction praise the wicked, but those who heed it resist them.Evildoers do not understand what is right, but those who seek the Lord understand it fully.Better the poor whose walk is blameless than the rich whose ways are perverse. A discerning son heeds instruction, but a companion of gluttons disgraces his father.Whoever increases wealth by taking interest or profit from the poor amasses it for another, who will be kind to the poor.If anyone turns a deaf ear to my instruction, even their prayers are detestable.Whoever leads the upright along an evil path will fall into their own trap, but the blameless will receive a good inheritance.Luke 8:17 17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.Episode 1,229 Links:Biden's FTC Punished Twitter For Seceding From The Censorship ComplexProf Sparks Liberal Outrage by Suggesting Her Career Would Have Been Easier if She Was Black and a Lesbian; “According to conference guests, Banner's antics came just moments after a black professor had spoken on racism and exclusion in the academic space.”After the Netherlands, Ireland's Farmers Fight Back Against EU Climate Regulations; New EU emission restrictions may force Irish farmers to cut fertilizer use and cull farm animals.Europe Swings RightNEIGHBORHOOD MENACE - LANGUAGE WARNING: For months now, residents in Seattle's Greenwood neighborhood say they've been terrorized by ONE homeless man, who's been going on a rampage in the community.
