2nd Acorn Regulatory MDR Whitepaper: Be Prepared for May 2021
Our second Acorn Regulatory MDR whitepaper looks at the issues of unique device identifiers, the role of Eudamed under MDR and post market surveillance.
Update: You will see that some of our comprehensive MDR content that we have created refers to the May 2020 date of application. The date of MDR application has moved to May 26th, 2021. Articles that were written prior to the delay referenced the earlier date. However, articles that you might read that reference the earlier date should be read taking the new date of May 2021 into consideration. Read more here.

In our first whitepaper, released earlier this year, they looked at the role of the Person Responsible for Regulatory Compliance and the enhanced role of the EU Authorised Representative.
Now, in the second MDR whitepaper they look at further issues that will impact upon companies preparing for the new MDR. Again, they have considered the ‘hot topics’ from the clients that they have been working with and questions submitted to them through the Acorn Regulatory website.
In this edition they look at:
- The role of Eudamed under MDR
- Post Market Surveillance
- What will happen to UDI’s under MDR?

Our pharmacovigilance team look at the measures that companies need to put in place now if they are to prepare for the UK leaving the EU without a deal. The role of the QPPV has been much discussed in recent years, since the outcome of the referendum became known, and companies need to be aware of the implications that Brexit will have on that role.
The medical devices team look at the role of the EU Authorised Representative and the implications for Notified Bodies.
