Medical Device Compliance & Certification Summit – Why It Matters?

Medical device and diagnostic compliance expectations are shifting earlier in the product lifecycle. IEC 60601 and related standards are no longer something teams can “handle at test.” Regulators increasingly expect standards interpretation, risk decisions, and test strategy to be visible and justified during design reviews and technical documentation development.

This shift is showing up in real ways – deeper design reviews, tougher pre-submission questions, and increased scrutiny of how standards were applied, not just whether a final test report exists.

To address this reality, Eisner Safety Consultants (ESC) is working with Nemko to deliver a three-day, in-person Medical Device Compliance & Certification Summit focused on how standards, testing, and regulator expectations intersect in real programs.

A focused, three-day program for engineering, regulatory, and compliance teams navigating IEC 60601, IEC 61010, EMC and RF requirements, certification strategy, and regulator guidance documents across FDA, EU, and other markets.

In-Person Training & Live Workshops

February 2–4, 2026
Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort, 3075 Carlsbad Blvd, Carlsbad, CA 92008

Designed for teams preparing new medical devices or diagnostics for market, working through recurring EMC or RF failures, or tightening FDA or EU MDR technical documentation ahead of submission or surveillance review.

Registration Summit Details

Who this summit is designed for

  • Electrical, EMC, RF, and systems engineers
  • Regulatory affairs and quality professionals
  • Product and compliance managers
  • Medical device and diagnostic startups preparing first submissions
  • Teams facing test failures, redesigns, or certification delays

What attendees will learn

  • How regulators evaluate standards application, not just test outcomes
  • Future impacts of IEC 60601-1, 4th edition concepts on design controls
  • Essential Performance and its role in risk management and review discussions
  • How EMC and RF strategies influence certification timelines
  • When IEC 61010 applies to diagnostic and laboratory equipment
  • Cybersecurity expectations under FDA and EU MDR
  • How guidance documents shape FDA and EU technical file expectations

How Eisner Safety Consultants Can Help

As regulatory expectations increase, delays are often caused by unclear standards interpretation, weak traceability between design decisions and requirements, and technical documentation that does not explain why choices were made.

Eisner Safety Consultants works with medical device, diagnostics, and combination device manufacturers every day to translate IEC 60601, IEC 61010, and related standards into practical design inputs, defensible test strategies, and documentation that aligns with FDA, EU, and other regulator guidance documents.

Join me, Leonard (Leo) Eisner, the “IEC 60601 Guy”,

in a conversation with Subhi Saadeh of Combinate Podcast

as we look at how to assess applicable standards for medical and combination devices and a few highlights on IEC 60601-1, 4th ed. in Combinate Podcast 148 https://bit.ly/LIPostCombinatePodcast148LeoEisner

He really does his research and is a great interviewer. I always find it fun and intriguing to have a conversation with Subhi as I too learn from our conversations.

We discuss:
☞ complexities in assessing applicable standards
☞ understanding the impact of product environment, intended use, & applicable markets
☞ challenges and strategies for documenting standards assessments
☞ leveraging existing standards to avoid unnecessary development
☞ tips for small and large companies
☞ significance of early research
☞ essential stakeholders involved in standards assessment
☞ and more….

Join us 🫵 in the conversation on LinkedIn and leave your comments so we can continue this discussion.
