Executive Summary
Europe's electronic and electromedical equipment manufacturers are to take a long, hard look at the way they will be affected by the European Commission's planned recast of the Medical Device Directive and the Active Implantable Medical Device Directive (see Clinica No 1181, p 4) into a single regulation. The Commission's intention to simplify the certification rules as part of the technical harmonisation of products by the end of 2007 is of key importance to COCIR, the European association representing the electromed sector.
