Maetrics at Medica 2017: Stand F18-5, Hall 16

Global life sciences consultancy to present original research whitepaper on importance of speedy MDR compliance at Medica 2017

Nottingham, 06 November 2017 – Maetrics, the global consultancy firm that provides regulatory, quality, and compliance solutions to the life sciences sector, today announces its attendance at this month’s Medica trade fair in Düsseldorf (13-16 November 2017).

The company will exhibit on Stand F18-5, Hall 16 and will have senior executives available to share their experience and expertise in regulatory affairs in the medical devices sector. To coincide with the event, Maetrics will also launch a new research whitepaper on the European Medical Device Regulation (MDR), which officially came into effect in May this year and represents the single largest change to medical device regulations in Europe since CE Marking was introduced in 1993.

Specifically, the original research will quantify in clear financial terms the potential market advantage for medtech firms moving quickly to become compliant with the MDR, rather than waiting until the 2020 deadline.

Peter Rose, Managing Director for Europe at Maetrics, said: “We are delighted to exhibit at this year’s Medica and look forward to presenting our extensive knowledge of the medical devices regulatory landscape. There are significant changes taking place that widely affect the industry – including the MDR in Europe, the new international Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP) and ISO 13485:2016.

“Based on our current experience of helping medical device companies navigate these important regulatory changes and meet their obligations, we are ideally positioned to give insight into the practical implications of each regulation and the tactics being employed to achieve seamless compliance.”

Maetrics works with medical device, diagnostic, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to help them meet quality, compliance, and regulatory requirements while remaining competitive and profitable. With offices throughout Europe and North America, Maetrics can assist with local, regional, or global compliance needs.
