SciBase MDR certification delayed two weeks
STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN, — April 12, 2021 – SciBase Holding AB ("SciBase") [STO:SCIB], a leading developer of augmented intelligence-based solutions for skin disorders, announced today that it has today received information that the certification process under the new Medical Device Regulation (MDR 2017/745) has been slightly delayed due to resource issues at the notified body.
As there are no outstanding questions, we expect that the internal process at the notified body will be finalized by the end of April thus delaying the certification process by two weeks from our expected date.
MDR is a set of mandatory legal requirements and central for all companies selling medical devices in the EU. The new regulation will come into force on the 26th of May this year.
“Unfortunately, Covid-19 and the extremely high pressure on all notified bodies from Companies has delayed our MDR certification by two weeks. This is both unexpected and highly frustrating after more than two years working on this project, but this part of the process is out of our hands. At this time we do not see a risk for further delay, but this final step lies with our notified body.” says Simon Grant, CEO of SciBase.
