The International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF) was conceived in February 2011 as a forum where future directions of medical device regulatory harmonization are discussed.
IMDRF is a voluntary group of medical device regulators from around the world, who have come together to build on the strong foundational work of the Global Harmonization Task Force on Medical Devices (GHTF) and aims to accelerate international medical device regulatory harmonization and convergence.
On October 2011, representatives from the medical device regulatory authorities of Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, European Union, Japan and United States, as well as the World Health Organization (WHO) met in Ottawa to address the establishment and operation of this new Forum.
