More time, but no all-clear! The high-risk requirements of the EU AI Act for “Software as a Medical Device” (SaMD) have been postponed to August 2, 2028, by the “Digital Omnibus on AI” adopted by the EU Council at the end of June 2026. A new deadline also applies to standalone high-risk AI: December 2, 2027.

This gives you some breathing room. Make the most of this extra time! SaMD in Classes IIa through III generally remains high-risk AI under Article 6 of the EU AI Act. The conformity assessment is integrated into the Medical Device Regulation (MDR). If your quality management system (QMS) already reliably complies with the MDR, the question remains: How well does it address the additional AI requirements?

In this concise webinar, Torsten Herbert from sepp.med highlights the 5 gaps where MedTech companies most frequently run into trouble during audits. In 20 minutes, you’ll receive an honest assessment of your current status with specific audit questions for your own organization—and afterward, we’ll answer your questions during the Q&A session.

What you’ll learn in this webinar:

  • What the Digital Omnibus on AI actually changes: the new deadlines of 2027 and 2028 and the integrated conformity assessment via the MDR procedure
  • The 5 most common QMS gaps in AI-based SaMD: from missing AI risks in risk management to data governance and the responsibilities of your Notified Body
  • What evidence Notified Bodies require and the most common reasons why a conformity assessment fails in practice
  • Three quick wins you can tackle as early as tomorrow without a major compliance project
  • How to integrate the AI Act and MDR into a single, integrated QMS compliant with ISO 13485 and ISO/IEC 42001, rather than setting up a second system

Who is this webinar ideal for?

IT managers and CTOs at medtech companies with AI-based Software as a Medical Device, as well as Regulatory Affairs Managers who coordinate audit preparation
