Compliance throughout the product life cycle of a medical device – MEDICA Evening Event

Together with SPECTARIS and Mills & Reeve, GvW Graf von Westphalen is hosting a MEDICA evening on 16 November 2026, focusing on the regulatory, technical and legal challenges throughout the life cycle of medical devices. The focus will be on a panel discussion covering current compliance requirements, IT security and the use of artificial intelligence in the medical device industry. 

Drawing on a variety of perspectives, the speakers will examine the requirements faced by medical device manufacturers, from development through to placing on the market and market surveillance. Afterwards, a get-together will provide an opportunity for professional discussion and networking.
