SUMMARY:Stay Focused: The Purpose of the SVR and Tips for Building a Strong PER Foundation
DESCRIPTION:The goal of performance evaluation is to show that your IVD performs as intended and meets the acceptance criteria\, therefore establishing that your IVD may be considered state of the art. Remember: the PER is a product\, but it is documenting a process. Performance evaluation can be straightforward if your analyte has a well-established association with a clinical condition. But what is the purpose of the SVR\, and how should you approach it when there is too much or not enough data? \nThis webinar will discuss the role of data sufficiency\, the importance of developing a solid strategy to establish scientific validity\, how gaps in the SVR can significantly impact the quality of the PER\, and how proper scoping can help maximize success when it comes to a performance evaluation. \nIn this webinar\, you will learn\n1. How to clearly define what information should (and shouldn’t) be presented within the Scientific Validity Report.\n2. How the systematic literature review process supports and connects the SVR\, CPR\, and APR by leveraging published data.\n3. How to conduct gap assessments to assess IVDR readiness and develop strategies to increase efficiencies in the performance evaluation process to support the SVR. \nAt the end of the presentation\, we will dedicate 15 minutes to answering your questions. Please submit your questions beforehand if you have any to help us prepare. Also\, you can submit your questions at any point during the presentation. \nWho should register for this webinar?\n\n\nThose Regulatory\, Quality and Clinical leaders and teams who develop\, write\, review or approve performance evaluation reports for IVDR submissions.\n\n\n\n\n\nClick here to watch the recording of this webinar. \nNew Requirements for In Vitro Diagnostics: Lessons Learned from the AAMI/FDA/BSI Annual Conference\nIn October 2022\, the AAMI/FDA/BSI Annual Conference discussed current knowledge and practical strategies to meet new IVDR clinical evidence requirements. Dr. Sarah Chavez\, Criterion Edge Director of IVD Writing Services\, was invited to speak with other regulatory\, notified body and industry leaders as panelists at the pre-conference workshop “New Requirements for In Vitro Diagnostics”. \nWatch Dr. Chavez’s recent webinar and benefit from key insider insights gleaned from this meeting. Sarah shares and discusses the key take-aways from the Symposium\, including clinical evidence requirements and strategies to keep your report writing and data collection on track.  Many companies are in the early stages of planning for IVDR\, so take a step towards IVDR readiness with these helpful suggestions for planning and preparation from the perspective of experienced regulatory writers. \nWatch the webinar recording here.

SUMMARY:IVDR in Focus: Tips for Performance Evaluation Planning to Support Your Transition from IVDD to IVDR
DESCRIPTION:While the concept of a “performance evaluation” hasn’t changed much over the past two decades\, IVDR requirements regarding the amount and extent of technical documentation have significantly changed compared to the IVDD. Annex XIII of the IVDR specifies the contents of two new documents: the performance evaluation plan (PEP) and the performance evaluation report (PER). \nTo help manufacturers prepare and comply with the IVDR\, we have compiled some tips for developing and implementing a successful PEP as you prepare for your IVDR submissions. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDescribe the scope and objectives of the PEP\, including considerations to identify the clinical claims\, the target population\, the clinical conditions\, the comparators\, and the endpoints.\nReview how to conduct a comprehensive systematic literature review\, a critical component of the PEP which provides the basis for the clinical evidence\, both favorable and unfavorable.\nDiscuss strategies to prepare a detailed scientific validity report (SVR)\, a new requirement under the IVDR to provide a clear rationale and scientific justification for the choice of the analyte or marker\, as well as the evidence of its association with the clinical condition or physiological state.\nDefine the requirements of the analytical performance report (APR)\, another new requirement under the IVDR which seeks to demonstrate the analytical performance of the IVD in terms of its ability to correctly measure the analyte or marker.\nClarify the expectations for sufficient clinical data contained within the clinical performance report (CPR)\, a key requirement under the IVDR that demonstrates the clinical performance of the IVD in terms of its ability to correctly identify or predict the clinical condition or physiological state of the target population\n\nWho is this webinar for?\nThose Regulatory\, Quality and Clinical leaders and teams who are tasked with the development\, writing\, review or approval of performance evaluation reports for IVDR submissions. \n  \nWATCH NOW

In regulated environments\, teams must balance AI-driven efficiency with scientific judgment\, evidence traceability\, quality control\, and human accountability. \nIn this webinar\, Criterion Edge explores a human + AI approach to scientific and regulatory writing\, including where AI can improve efficiency\, where it introduces risk\, and how teams can integrate AI without compromising regulatory rigor. \n\nUnderstand Where AI Adds Value—and Where It Falls Short\nExplore how AI can assist with literature screening\, data extraction\, drafting\, and error detection\, as well as common risks such as hallucinated citations\, missing evidence\, and incorrect clinical context.\nMaintain Regulatory Rigor and Evidence Traceability\nLearn why AI-assisted regulatory writing still requires documented methodologies\, reproducible evidence trails\, expert verification\, and human accountability throughout the workflow.\nBuild a Practical Human + AI Workflow\nDiscover how to introduce AI strategically\, validate outputs\, strengthen QC processes\, and use scientific experts for the higher-level interpretation and decision-making AI cannot replace.\n\nWatch Now
