The EU Medical Device Regulation and the

             U.S. Medical Device Industry

                        Brian  Daigle  and Mihir  Torsekar

    Abstract

    The United States has long had the world's most successful medical device (or
    medtech) industry, with the European Union (EU) serving as its largest export
    market. The trading bloc's reputation for relatively timely market approvals has
    long benefited these U.S. manufacturers. However, the EU's soon-to-be-
    implemented Medical Device Regulation (MDR)-an   overhaul of the previous
    medtech regulatory regime-may  present a number of obstacles for U.S. and
    other medtech firms that could limit their access to a critical market.
