Observed Hassenplug, "Until recently, many medical device companies gave regulatory compliance a lower priority in their product development strategies, even being reactive in approach.  Today's more complex, multi-platform devices, global scale, and increased regulatory zeal has compelled management to seek a more proactive approach, but often in the face of a reactive culture.  Metrics' experienced guidance helps companies become more agile in bridging that gap and provides global acumen such that companies will create a successful evolution of their compliance strategies and programs."

Also at MEDTEC Europe, Maetrics' Managing Director for the United Kingdom, Peter Rose, will be speaking on "Harmonized UDI Regulatory Framework – Clarification on the European Commission's UDI Roadmap" on June 3 at 11:45 a.m. 

Mr. Hassenplug and Mr. Rose will be available, by appointment, for confidential conferences during MEDTEC Europe.  Attendees are invited to visit the company's stand #3E64, in the Messe Piazza.
