Hospitals, as healthcare providers, purchase medical devices on a large scale and under various purchasing regimes. The regulation of medical devices has a significant impact on the requirements that hospitals can apply when purchasing, how they must evaluate supplier bids, and how to minimize the legal risks associated with the procurement of these technologies. In this seminar, we will focus on how to properly set up medical device purchasing processes so that they comply with the regulatory framework, public procurement rules and other hospital purchasing procedures.
