The Euro­pean Commission’s high-lev­el con­fer­ence “Med­ical Devices: Inno­va­tion and Patient Safe­ty”, held on 16 March 2026 in Brus­sels, is now avail­able to watch on demand.

The event addressed the Commission’s pro­posed revi­sion of the MDR (Reg­u­la­tion (EU) 2017/745) and IVDR (Reg­u­la­tion (EU) 2017/746), with ses­sions cov­er­ing con­for­mi­ty assess­ment pre­dictabil­i­ty, the role of Expert Pan­els, and the reg­u­la­to­ry frame­work for break­through tech­nolo­gies — all areas of active leg­isla­tive development.

The record­ing offers a use­ful overview of the Commission’s cur­rent pol­i­cy direc­tion for those who could not attend in person.
