If you are a manufacturer, an Authorized Representative, an importer or distributor, you will most likely receive further instructions from the European Union on the implementation of the MDR (EU) 2017/745 and IVDR (EU) 2017/746 Regulations that entered in force on May 26, 2017.

The aforementioned documents are shown below:
