Gain a deeper understanding of clinical evaluations and investigations to navigate the MDR and ensure compliance

As part of the conformity assessment route and risk management plans all medical devices require an evaluation of the existing clinical data on similar devices - this then makes up a part of the technical documentation. This requirement is part of the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) which was brought in to modernise the Directives, maintain safety for all patients across the EU and update legislation to keep up with technological advances. To improve patient safety the MDR focuses on clinical evidence with more clinical data being required for riskier device products.

This 4 module course will focus on clinical evaluation reports and will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of literature reviews, proving equivalence, and managing Clinical Evaluation Reports throughout the life cycle of a product.

Practical guidance for constructing a clinical evaluation report (CER) with medical writing advice
Review tips to show equivalence and conduct a literature review with case study examples
Discuss and evaluate the impact of the new Regulation on clinical evaluations and investigations to ensure you remain compliant and can manage the transition smoothly
Examine how the clinical evaluation report is linked to post market surveillance and the risk management plan
Assess post market clinical studies for existing products and examine how requirements will change with the new Regulation
