According to the European Medical Devices Regulations (MDR), a medical device is any instrument, apparatus, appliance, software, implant, reagent, material, or other article intended by the manufacturer to be used, alone or in combination, for human beings for one or more of the following specific medical purposes:
- Diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, prediction, prognosis, treatment, or alleviation of disease
- Diagnosis, monitoring, treatment, alleviation, or compensation for an injury or disability
- Investigation, replacement, or modification of the anatomy or a physiological or pathological process or state
- Providing information by means of in vitro examination of specimens derived from the human body, including organ, blood, and tissue donations
Additionally, the regulation specifies that medical devices do not achieve their principal intended action by pharmacological, immunological, or metabolic means, although they may be assisted in their function by such means.
Bearing in mind the above information we have compiled a list of Training Courses that are directly or indirectly related to Medical Devices and the Medical Devices Regulations.
