Regulatory Issues for PF Syringes & Injectable Drug Devices

More so than ever injectable drugs are administered using devices like pre-filled syringes, auto-injectors, and pen-injectors. Patient-centricity is driving the future of the injectable drug delivery market whether it’s through more self-administration, connectivity, or even wearable devices. Yet with so many developments and innovations, regulation remains at the forefront of the industry and all those involved must comply.

In January at the Pre-Filled Syringes & Injectable Drug Devices Europe Conference, industry experts will convene in London to discuss these issues, including:
