Medical device companies are under increasing pressure to comply with strictly enforced, complex rules that govern interactions with healthcare professionals and healthcare organizations internationally. Differences in national laws regarding financial relationships between manufacturers and healthcare professionals, pose a challenge for companies seeking to establish global compliance policies and procedures.
In order to simplify international regulatory compliance, Huron Consulting Group created the International Medical Device Compliance Code Compendium now in its 3rd year, which provides regulatory guidance regarding interaction with healthcare professionals in more than 65 countries. In addition to analysis of medical device codes and comparisons between codes, the Compendium includes pharmaceutical codes that may affect medical device manufacturers.
Huron’s Compendium is available at: http://www.huronconsultinggroup.com/library/2009_Compendium.pdf
