In this practical presentation, Criterion Edge presents focused strategies on building an IVDR-aligned State of the Art (SOA) section within the Scientific Validity Report (SVR). We also talk about the critical role of the SVR as it relates to the overall performance evaluation process. You will learn the foundational role of the SOA in the SVR, the required components of the SOA such as the safety and performance objectives, and the importance of a robust systematic literature review (SLR) to support your SOA.

This white paper is a companion piece to our popular webinar where we cover the state of the art process and how it
fits into the In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR).

This white paper is a companion piece to our popular webinar where we share our insights on using the Systematic
Literature Review (SLR) to Empower Data-Driven Decisions in your Organization.

In this discussion, we provide an overview of how to plan and coordinate change within an organization to meet upcoming EU IVDR regulatory requirements. We will be highlighting key steps involved in helping medical affairs transition to a more rigorous regulatory environments, and how to evaluate talent gaps, team leadership composition, and process challenges of your product portfolio.

This white paper is a companion piece to our popular webinar where we share some of the best approaches we have
discovered for Corporate Scientific Communication Strategies.

In this discussion, our panel of proven leaders discuss the key elements that support and propel the innovation process in the medical device, pharmaceutical, and IVD industries. We will be highlighting key areas of the process, important players in the pathway to the market, and how successful innovations spawn new innovations in new markets such as the digital health space, and more.

This white paper is a companion piece to our popular webinar where we break down the steps of the systematic literature review (SLR) process and take a wholistic approach to conducting an In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR)- compliant SLR.

This white paper is a companion piece to our popular webinar that uncovers what we have learned from our experience in writing Medical Device Regulation (MDR)-compliant Clinical Evaluation Reports (CERs), and how urgently applicable some of these key learnings are in preparing a robust Performance Evaluation Report (PER).

This white paper is a companion piece to our popular webinar where we share some of the biggest issues we have discovered when starting a Clinical Evaluation Report (CER) project, and how to anticipate and avoid project delays.

This companion piece to our popular webinar discusses strategies for assessing key components of your CER like clinical data sources and risk-benefit analysis.

This white paper outlines strategies to assess your CER including state of the art, safety and performance criteria, equivalence and systematic literature review.

In this webinar, Dr. Sarah Chavez provides an overview of the State of the Art section, and explains how it fits into the overall process of writing a successful, IVDR-compliant Performance Evaluation Report (PER) in a reasonable time frame. A complete readiness assessment and gap analysis will help you identify critical resources, feeder documents, and expertise needed to establish that your IVD may be considered “state-of-the-art.” Ultimately, knowing what the Notified Body expects to see will help you avoid project delays and discover efficiencies in the SOA development process.

Have the IVDR Performance Evaluation and Post Market Surveillance requirements got you tied up in knots? Where do you start? What does the end product look like? We are joined by the VP of Regulatory, Quality, and Clinical from Nextern, a collaborative medical device company bringing unmatched core competence in medical device product design and development. Criterion Edge’s President Laurie Mitchell will lead a discussion of their experiences supporting clients through MDR and IVDR requirements.

In this practical presentation, President Laurie Mitchell will: 1) discuss how an effective scientific communication plan is an important marketing tool for an organization, and 2) present five strategies to ensure your corporate objectives are supported and maximize the real-world impact of your data. Join us to learn how this applies to your organization and how to implement these strategies into your current processes.

In this practical presentation, Criterion Edge uncovers what we have learned from our experience in writing MDR-compliant CERs, and how urgently applicable some of these key learnings are in preparing a robust Performance Evaluation Report (PER).

As we all know, the MDR has significantly increased both the quality and quantity of inputs needed to complete a CER, needing more up-front planning than the reports have in the past. Based on our experiences with clients both large and small, our President, Laurie Mitchell, shares some of the biggest issues we have discovered when starting an MDR CER project. Laurie also reveals some of the most successful strategies in addressing these issues, up-front and early.

In this practical presentation, Criterion Edge breaks down the steps of the SLR process and takes a wholistic approach to conducting an IVDR-compliant SLR. Using case studies, the presentation illustrates the effective use of SLR-derived data to develop the Scientific Validity Report (SVR) and the Clinical Performance Report (CPR).

In this second installment of our 2-part webinar series, Criterion Edge shares practical presentation to help you assess your CER through the critical lens of a writer and identify possible gaps for mitigation before prior to submission to regulatory authorities.

In this webinar, we share the process of systematic literature review, and discuss the tools and best practices for creating a methodologically-sound systematic literature review.

Leading industry experts come together to discuss how the MDR affects data management within their respective units.

This report clarifies the modifications to the equivalence guidelines in MEDDEV 2.7/1 and Quality Management Systems (QMS) ISO 13485 standard to help develop strategies.

This gap analysis addresses key revisions to evaluator qualifications and scientific validity in the Clinical Evaluation (CE) MEDDEV guideline rev.4.

The changes to 2.7/1 rev. 4 suggest the need to submit more frequent CERs to regulatory authorities, however, strategies will be discussed for managing the increased requirements.

Every time a healthcare provider makes a notation in the medical chart, a significant and valuable piece of data has been created. This paper discusses the implications of this.

This piece discusses 10 key strategies to building an efficient regulatory writing process.

In this paper, we discuss a prominent clarification on the MEDDEV 2.7.1 rev 4, establishing the “state of the art” section.

The overwhelming turnout at the ‘How to Assess Your CER for MDR Readiness, Part 1’ prompted us to host a live Q+A session where President Laurie Mitchell exclusively answers all your questions.

President Laurie Mitchell returns to continue sharing more about the importance of the systematic literature review.

In this webinar, we share the process of systematic literature review, and discuss the tools and best practices for creating a methodologically-sound systematic literature review.

Establishing and defining state of the art for a medical device is no longer an isolated task – it supports the entire Clinical Evaluation Report (CER). Multiple sections of the MEDDEV 2.7/1 rev 4 compliant CER need to be supported by state of the art data, including safety and performance, risk management, and equivalence.

In this first installment of a 2-part webinar series, Criterion Edge will present strategies for assessing key components of your CER (or CER template) for possible misalignment with significant and applicable MDR requirements.

In this webinar, President Laurie Mitchell discusses why safety reviews are essential in the entire life cycle of product development.

Kyoko Hattori from Criterion Edge returns to discuss best practices for managing the adjudication process in-house, and Brian Kelly from AG Mednet will share how the “JUDI” platform can simplify the management of adjudication.
