The MDR came into force on 25 May 2017 and became applicable on 26 May 2021. It imposes stricter requirements on medical device manufacturers, including more rigorous clinical evaluations, increased transparency through the European database on medical devices (EUDAMED), and enhanced post-market surveillance. Manufacturers must ensure compliance with these regulations to market devices in the European Union.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fourth-title\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section id=\"block_258e6f83e5fe5bb12a365a86541eceec\" class=\"section section_push-block\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"push-block_container push-container-large push-container-gradient-primary \" >\n                            <div class=\"push_content\">\n                    <h2 style=\"color: #fff;\">Need advice or have a question in this evolving and increasingly demanding regulatory context?
