Transitioning legacy devices from the MDD framework to EU MDR has proven to be more complex than many manufacturers anticipated. Documentation, claims, and clinical evaluations that were previously accepted now require a higher level of clarity, traceability, and supporting evidence under MDR.

For many organizations, the challenge is not just understanding the regulation but identifying where existing approaches fall short when reviewed by Notified Bodies.

This webinar brings a customer perspective on three key challenges that surfaced during MDR transition efforts for legacy devices:

  • Differentiating clinical benefit vs. technical benefit in claims documentation
  • Building a defensible benefit-risk profile aligned with GSPRs
  • Strengthening clinical evaluation through structured SLRs, SoTA analysis, and evidence hierarchy

Through real-world experiences, the panel shares how these challenges appeared in practice, where gaps were identified, and what changes helped improve submission readiness.

In this on-demand session, industry experts discuss practical approaches to improving claims clarity, strengthening benefit-risk justification, and building more robust clinical evaluation strategies aligned with EU MDR expectations.
