Regulatory Update - 416

We added further new IVDR templates. You can now find ready to use templates for eTD level: Executive Summary. You can now find ready to use templates for product level: Executive Summary, IVDR Classification, Intended Purpose, List of applied Standards. All new templates are available in german and english.

Regulatory Update - 415

We added a new Document Template "Intended Purpose" specifically for IVDR. The scope of the template is on Product level.

We changed our inspections - in the future, if your product is set to the status "in development", the inspector will no longer expect information on "marketed in these countries"

Regulatory Update - 414

We added unique ID fields to the collections "Change Management" and "CAPA Management" to allow for a unique identification of each entry.

We added a new formfield to our eTD datamodel "Is the device directly marked?" - available each on eTD, ProductGroup and Product level

Regulatory Update - 413

We have changed the configuration on all codes (IVP, IVR, IVS, IVT, EMDN, GMDN, JMDN, UMDNS, MD, MDA, MDN, MDS, MDT) to unique. As these codes are saved in collections, no code should ever be twice in those collections.
