Brexit compliance, application of the EU MDR, and upcoming IVDR deadline, Europe is the busiest region with evolving Regulatory landscape. All these timelines have kept the Regulatory professional on their toes. Post-Brexit, the first MHRA grace period for active implantable medical devices, Class III, Class IIb implantables, and IVD list A devices ended on April 30, 2021, and the second MHRA grace period for Class IIb non-implantables, Class IIa medical devices concluded on August 31, 2021. Now, the medical device industry is moving towards the third MHRA grace period due on December 31, 2021.

Since the end of the Brexit transition period on December 31, 2020, the UK MHRA has published updates like guidance for medical devices, templates for bulk uploads, obligations for importers, among others. In addition to these published updates, various unannounced updates are known to only the active stakeholders in the UK MHRA device registration. As a medical device or IVD device manufacturer exporting to the UK market, are you aware of these recent updates? Do you have an in-depth understanding of the below aspects.
