We talked a lot about the EU MDR and the difficulty for some manufacturers to transition to this new legislation. But today we will explain why IVDR manufacturers will struggle more. I will explain to you the change in terms of product classification within the IVDR 2017/746. Because of this, a lot of manufacturers that didn’t need a Notified Body before will need one now.
