CM100V Medical Technology Development under the Medical Device Regulation 4.0 credits

The aim of the course is that those who plan to work in healthcare or/and research with possible medical applications should have sufficient knowledge of current regulations in medical technology. Today, early testing for clinical data is increasingly important due to stricter regulatory requirements. This points to a need to know methods used to ensure regulatory requirements for new and existing medical devices and to be able to conduct pilot studies that are of such high quality that data can be used in future clinical studies.
