MEDICA 2026: Meet CMC Medical Devices in Düsseldorf

CMC Medical Devices will be exhibiting at MEDICA 2026 in Düsseldorf from 16–19 November. Find us at Hall 6 – Stand D33.

As an international medical device and IVD regulatory partner, we look forward to meeting manufacturers, partners and industry professionals to discuss regulatory compliance, market access and international expansion.

For manufacturers attending MEDICA 2026, the event can be an opportunity not only to present their products and build commercial relationships, but also to explore new markets and identify the regulatory support they may need to expand internationally.

An Opportunity for International Medical Device Manufacturers

For medical device manufacturers, attending an international trade fair is about more than presenting products and meeting potential customers. It can also be an opportunity to explore new markets, establish partnerships and assess the regulatory requirements involved in international expansion.

For companies looking to enter or expand in the European market, some of the questions may include:

• What regulatory requirements apply to my medical device or IVD?
• Do I need an EU Authorized Representative?
• Is my technical documentation ready for the European market?
• What are my MDR or IVDR obligations?
• How should I approach EUDAMED registration?
• What regulatory steps are required before placing my products on the market?
• How can I expand into other regulated international markets?

These are some of the questions that can arise when manufacturers begin planning their international market strategy.

For companies attending MEDICA 2026, having the opportunity to discuss these challenges directly with regulatory and market access specialists can be a valuable part of the event.

Regulatory Compliance and Market Access

Entering a new market requires more than having a product that meets technical requirements. Manufacturers also need to understand the regulatory framework applicable to their products and the obligations they will have once the product is placed on the market.

In Europe, this includes the requirements established under the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and the In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Regulation (IVDR), as well as requirements related to technical documentation, clinical evaluation, registration, post-market surveillance and economic operator responsibilities.

For manufacturers based outside the European Union, appointing an EU Authorized Representative (EU REP) is also an essential part of accessing the European market. The EU Authorized Representative acts as a regulatory point of contact between the manufacturer and European competent authorities and performs the responsibilities established under the applicable regulations.

Understanding these requirements early can help manufacturers plan their market entry more effectively and identify potential regulatory challenges before they become obstacles to commercialization.

This is particularly relevant for companies using MEDICA 2026 to explore opportunities in Europe or discuss potential expansion into other international markets.

EUDAMED: An Important Deadline for Medical Device Manufacturers

MEDICA 2026 also takes place at an important point in the implementation of EUDAMED.

The first four EUDAMED modules became mandatory to use on 28 May 2026. For certain devices covered by the applicable transitional provisions, manufacturers have until 28 November 2026 to register their devices in the UDI/Devices module (European Commission).

With MEDICA taking place from 16–19 November, the event comes just days before this important deadline.

For manufacturers attending the exhibition, this can therefore be a timely opportunity to review their EUDAMED status, identify any outstanding registration requirements and discuss the steps needed to comply with the applicable obligations.

CMC Medical Devices supports manufacturers with EUDAMED registration and can assist with the relevant regulatory and registration requirements. Our team can also provide EUDAMED support alongside other regulatory and representation services.

If you are attending MEDICA 2026 and still have questions about EUDAMED registration, MDR or your European market-entry strategy, this is a good opportunity to discuss them directly with our team.
