A few weeks ago, we were surprised to hear that the EU Commission issued a proposal to delay some products from applying IVDR 2017/746 by my 26th, 2022.

So we decided to discuss this proposal with Erik Vollebregt and see how this should be interpreted as this is not a postponement that is proposed but more some phase application per product class.

Erik presented also during this session a diagram that he has made. I asked him to be able to provide that to you so check in the links below to find it.

You can also read more of this proposal on Erik’s blog. The link is also below.

Erik specializes in EU and national legal and regulatory issues relating to medical devices, including eHealth, mHealth, software, and protection of personal data. He is an expert in life sciences regulation at the EU and Dutch level, with a focus on contracts, regulatory litigation against competent authorities, and M&A.

Erik was initially trained as intellectual property and competition lawyer, starting his career at the Directorate-General for Competition of the European Commission. He subsequently gained experience in contentious matters, commercial contracts, and transactional work at three large international law firms. He actively contributes to law and policy development at the national and EU levels via membership of specialized committees at branch associations and the European Commission.
