It’s All Interconnected: Hidden Traps That Can Derail Your PER

With the implementation of IVDR requirements, IVD manufacturers have been challenged to align their internal processes and systems to comply with these rigorous regulations. 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).  

This presentation provides practical tips on how to assess for hidden traps and unexpected roadblocks that could impact the success of writing an IVDR-compliant PER. By performing a gap analysis and assessing the readiness and availability of critical resources, documents and expertise, you will be able to avoid project delays and discover efficiencies that will enable the on-time completion of a successful, IVDR-compliant PER. 

Learning Objectives: 

  • The importance of scoping your PER project in advance  
  • The critical inputs needed to enable the success of your PER and the impact to the project if these inputs are not available or incomplete  
  • How to identify those hidden gaps in resources and information and the steps to take to mitigate them

Who is this webinar for?

Those Regulatory, Quality and Clinical leaders and teams who are tasked with the development, writing, review or approval of performance evaluation reports for IVDR submissions.

Ask the Expert: Plain Language Written Content for Multiple Audiences: Effective Communication for Patients, Caregivers, and HCPs

Healthcare companies continually strive to communicate important information about their drugs and devices to diverse audiences comprised of patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals (HCPs), and the general public. The use of plain language written content ensures key health information and clinical research findings are understandable and accessible to all.

Click here to watch this recent webinar to learn key elements of plain language written content, how to identify the target audience, selecting the most appropriate dissemination channels for the information, the challenges to produce a multitude of plain language written deliverables for multiple audiences, and more.

CER Critical Concepts

Clinical Evaluation Report Critical Concepts: Effectively Telling the Story of the CER – Focus on S&P Objectives, Acceptance Criteria, Clinical Benefits and Risk-Benefit Analysis

Safety and performance objectives…..clinical outcomes…..clinical benefits…..acceptance criteria…..risk-benefit ratio. These terms represent key concepts of the Clinical Evaluation Report (CER), yet confusion still exists on how to effectively identify, present and analyze these parameters within the context of an MDR-compliant CER. How do they tie together? How do they help you “tell the story” of the CER?

Click here to watch the recording of this session.

Presented from the point of view of seasoned MDR-compliant CER medical writers, this session will take a practical approach to:

  • Define each of these concepts and their relationship to each other
  • Develop MDR-aligned safety and performance objectives
  • How clinical outcomes are leveraged in the CER and how they are different from S&P objectives
  • Tying it all together in the Risk-Benefit section of the CER (hint: this section is where it all comes together)

There will be time at the end of this session to ask questions. Please submit your questions ahead of time while registering for this session so we have ample time to answer them thoughtfully. You may choose to send in your questions during the presentation as well.

Who is this forum for?

Those Regulatory, Quality and Clinical leaders and teams who develop, write, review, or approve clinical evaluation reports for MDR submissions. Anyone interested in learning more about MDR requirements for CERs is also welcome to attend. Also, we encourage professionals from the IVD industry to attend as well, as the content is also relevant to IVDR requirements, which align closely with MDR.

Critical Concepts: Measurable Objectives and Acceptance Criteria

This white paper is a companion piece to our popular webinar where we cover strategies to verify device safety and performance in the clinical evaluation of medical and in vitro diagnostic (IVDs) devices. This white paper should help you with identifying meaningful safety and performance measures for clinical or performance evaluation and with defining acceptance criteria parameters to determine the acceptability of benefit-risk as mandated by Medical Device Regulation (MDR) 2017/745 and In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) 2017/746.

Establishing your device’s safety and performance is a critical component of the clinical evaluation process. However, how to use the state of the art section within the Clinical Evaluation Report (CER) and Performance Evaluation Report (PER) to establish the device’s safety and performance objectives and acceptance criteria can seem ambiguous.

ATE: The Role of RA in the Clinical and Performance Evaluation Process

Ask the Expert: The Role of Regulatory Affairs in the Clinical and Performance Evaluation Process

Regulatory Affairs is poised to play a critical role in supporting the current MDR and IVDR required clinical and performance evaluation process, from project implementation through report writing and finally, the on-time submission to the notified body. In this session, we answer questions from many stages of the writing process, from the early planning stage through completion of all required written deliverables. Topics include early assessment of data sufficiency, equivalence considerations, internal readiness of critical documentation, project planning strategies, or how to identify potential roadblocks and proactively find solutions to common problems.

Click here to watch the recording of this session.

Who should watch this session?

Those Regulatory, Quality and Clinical leaders and teams who develop, write, review, or approve clinical evaluation reports for MDR submissions or performance evaluation reports for IVDR submissions.

Thinking about using an outsourced regulatory writing team, but aren’t sure of the advantages?

In today’s medical device and pharmaceutical environment, it’s imperative to analyze and present complex information clearly and concisely while meeting critical timelines. Partnering with team of experienced regulatory writers can be a beneficial alternative to maintaining an in-house writing staff.

Read our blog post to help decide if outsourcing is the right decision for your team.
