BIO Deutschland welcomes changes to Medical Devices Regulation and In Vitro Diagnostics Regulation

On December 16, the EU Commission published new regulations for medical devices (MDR) and in vitro diagnostics (IVDR). The old regulation from 2021/2022 was revised with the aim of reducing bureaucratic hurdles while continuing to ensure the health protection of patients. The biotechnology industry association BIO Deutschland e. V. sees the potential in the revision measures to strengthen the diagnostics industry in Europe and make it more competitive.
