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.
