Validation of medical devices, the process of confirming that the medical device or software works in the way in which it was intended, is a fundamental part of the medical device manufacturing cycle

Validation guarantees safety, ensures effectiveness and proves that medical devices meet predefined requirements such as functional specifications, regulatory requirements and user needs. The Medical Devices Manufacturing Centre are delighted to welcome two speakers, Elaine Gemmell, Head of Regulatory Affairs at InnoScot Health, and Tautvydas Karitonas, Managing Director of the UK company Test Labs, to discuss aspects of validation of medical devices.
