EU AI Act & Medical Devices: Deadline Extended to 2028 for High-Risk Systems

from Medical Device Global Market Access

The European Union has extended the compliance deadline for the AI Act for high-risk medical devices and IVDs already regulated by the MDR and IVDR. A provisional agreement on the Digital Omnibus package has postponed the application date by two years to August 2, 2028. This episode explores what this delay means for manufacturers, how it impacts compliance strategies, and the practical steps regulatory and quality teams should take to prepare for the eventual implementation. Key Questions: - What is the new AI Act compliance deadline for high-risk medical devices? - How does the Digital Omnibus package affect MDR and IVDR manufacturers? - Why was the original 2026 deadline for the AI Act extended? - What does this extension mean for your AI governance and QMS integration strategy? - Should you pause your AI Act compliance activities because of the delay? - How do the requirements of the AI Act and the MDR/IVDR overlap? - What practical steps should regulatory teams take over the next two years? - How will harmonized standards for AI in medical devices evolve before 2028?
