MIMAS Final Project Meeting and Retrospective

MIMAS Final Project Meeting and Retrospective

The final meeting of the 3-year EMPIR project MIMAS (Medical Implant Manufacturers' Safety procedures) took place on 22 September, 2021, one week after the very successful MIMAS workshop co-organized by ZMT which was attended by over 100 people. Both events provided an opportunity to reflect in detail on the individual achievements of the project partners and the impact of the project as a whole. They also provided the chance to discuss the future direction of the industry from the perspective of the invited Workshop speakers, who represented the FDA, MT40, ISO 10974 JWG, and major AIMD manufacturers and test houses.
