Monday, November 11: Production

The production of the future in medical technology relies on networked, flexible and data-supported processes. New technologies such as 3D printing and printed electronics enable innovative structures and contribute to personalized medicine. However, traditional manufacturing processes such as machining or injection molding remain important. Compliance with relevant standards and regulations plays a key role in this.

Tuesday, November 12: Regulatory Affairs

The European Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and the IVDR (In Vitro Diagnostica Regulation) continue to occupy the medical technology industry. Compliance with these regulations ensures patient safety and enables market access for medical technology products. Close cooperation with authorities and continuous monitoring of the changing regulatory landscape are essential.

Wednesday, November 13: Sustainability

Sustainability in medical technology includes topics such as low energy consumption, sustainable production, the use of environmentally friendly materials and reduced packaging. Aspects of recycling and the circular use of raw materials also play an important role. Manufacturers can contribute to sustainability by improving the reparability and extending the service life of products.
