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 communication can help ensure key health information and clinical research findings are understandable and accessible to all. 
 
In this second presentation of our Deep-Dive: Plain Language Writing webinar series, we will focus on best practices that guide the development of common forms of plain language communication intended for the patient, their families and/or caregivers, such as the: 
• Patient section of an EU MDR-compliant Summary of Safety and Clinical Performance (SSCP) for all Class III and Active Implantable Medical Devices (AIMD) 
• Plain Language Summary (PLS) of a published journal article 
• Lay summaries required under EU CTR for clinical trials on medicinal products

Join us as we discuss practical strategies you can use to develop effective patient-centered lay summary content.

[FREE WEBINAR] Critical Concepts Webinar Medical Device Software: Approaches to Determining Risk Classification, Qualification, and Safety and Performance Outcomes

 

Click here to watch the recording of this webinar.

In case you are wondering if Medical Device Software (MDSW/SaMD) and digital health content is a hot topic, the FDA released 4 guidance documents in 2022 alone, on topics ranging from cyber security, medical image devices, and mobile medical applications. Furthermore, the European MDR- EU 2017/745 and new IVDR – EU 2017/746 regulation contain stipulations related to how software is regulated, classified, and qualified.  

You may be asking yourselves: 

  • Is my software considered a medical device? 
  • How do I address the clinical evaluation for my medical device software? 
  • How do I define the safety and performance outcomes, and other clinical evaluation parameters? 

Click the link above to get answers to these questions and to find out more about the topic of software as a medical device.

Who are the Panelists?

[FREE WEBINAR] Stay Focused: The Purpose of the SVR and Tips for Building a Strong PER Foundation

Click here to watch the recording of this webinar.

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 how should you approach the SVR when there is too much or not enough data?

This 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.

Key Takeaways

  • How to clearly define what information should (and shouldn’t) be presented within the Scientific Validity Report.
  • How the systematic literature review process supports and connects the SVR, CPR, and APR by leveraging published data.
  • How to conduct gap assessments to assess IVDR readiness and develop strategies to increase efficiencies in the performance evaluation process to support the SVR.

Who are the Panelists?

This 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.

In this webinar, you will learn
1. How to clearly define what information should (and shouldn’t) be presented within the Scientific Validity Report.
2. How the systematic literature review process supports and connects the SVR, CPR, and APR by leveraging published data.
3. How to conduct gap assessments to assess IVDR readiness and develop strategies to increase efficiencies in the performance evaluation process to support the SVR.

At 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.

Who should register for this webinar?

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

New Requirements for In Vitro Diagnostics: Lessons Learned from the AAMI/FDA/BSI Annual Conference

In 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”.

Watch 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.

Critical Concepts: The Role of Post Market Surveillance in Establishing Data Sufficiency

Critical Concepts: The Role of Post Market Surveillance in Establishing Data Sufficiency

In this webinar, we will review the conformity requirements for “legacy devices” under the MDR and “established devices” under the IVDR to help you harness the potential of effective post market activities. We will discuss how “legacy devices,” defined as those previously certified under MDD/AIMDD, can demonstrate conformity to the general safety and performance requirements under the MDR through a collection of pre-market and post-market data.

Additionally, we will touch on some examples of the types of clinical data that are appropriate to use for “legacy devices” for both MDR and IVDR requirements, and finally we will review the MDCG 2020-6 guidance on clinical data for “legacy devices.”

There will be time at the end of the presentation to get your questions answered. Please submit your questions beforehand if you have any to help us prepare. You can also submit your questions during the presentation.

Click here to watch the recording of this session.

Who should register for this webinar?

Those Regulatory, Quality and Clinical leaders and teams who develop, write, review, or approve clinical evaluation reports for MDR submissions, or anyone interested in learning more about these requirements. Those from the IVD space are welcome to attend as this information may also be relevant.

Post Market Surveillance: Systematic Literature Review and Case Study

Joining Criterion Edge’s President Laurie Mitchell, is guest speaker, Queenita Fernandes, Medtronic’s Medical Safety Manager, Patient Monitoring & Respiratory Interventions​.
