Course Syllabus

  1. A system, not a procedure
  2. Eight limbs, and the collection exists to serve them
  3. The sentence that closes paragraph three
  4. The plan, and the annex that says what is in it
  5. The numbers that make the plan enforceable
  6. The IVDR is its own regime, and the numbers prove it
  7. What is law today, what is due, and what is only proposed

  1. The definitions that decide everything
  2. Seriousness, causality, and harm the device never touched
  3. Awareness starts the clock
  4. Three deadlines, and the paragraph that governs them
  5. Doubt, incompleteness, and an exemption with a condition
  6. Field safety corrective actions, and notices that arrive
  7. The form, the terminology, the guidance and the evidence

  1. Four duties, and three of them are already due
  2. What Article 88 actually catches, limb by limb
  3. Why nothing prompts you, and it is structural
  4. The carve-out trap, and Module 2 planted it
  5. What a defensible methodology actually looks like
  6. The guidance, the draft nobody published, and the IVDR

  1. Article 85, and the report that is not a small periodic report

  3. The FREQUENCY cut line, taught on its own terms
  4. The ROUTING cut line, and it is a different line
  5. Crossing the two lines, on four devices and on one report
