Dedicated to specialized research
IRC-BSM, in collaboration with the Bioengineering Department at KFUPM, co-organized the Medical Devices Regulations Workshop. The event brought together students, researchers, and professionals to explore key regulatory aspects of medical devices.
Experts from the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) led the sessions, covering topics such as device classification, clinical evaluation, benefit–risk analysis, and verification and validation. The workshop offered participants practical insights into regulatory frameworks and their importance in advancing safe and effective medical devices.
Through this workshop, IRC-BSM contributed to building knowledge and awareness of medical device regulations within the academic and research community, while cultivating a shared vision with the Bioengineering Department to advance education and practice in the biomedical field.
Our Research Center presented its strategic initiatives and ongoing projects in healthcare techno...
