The MDR delay has been anticipated for some time, as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The European Parliament has now voted to formalise the delay and to suspend introduction of MDR until May 2021.
Firstly, you will see that some of our comprehensive MDR content that we have created since 2018 refers to the May 2020 date of application. Recent developments, as referenced above, means that the date of application has now 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.
