Clinical Evaluation: Measurable Objectives and Acceptance Criteria to Verify Device Safety and Performance

Clinical Evaluation: Measurable Objectives and Acceptance Criteria to Verify Device Safety and Performance

In this presentation we discuss strategies for the verification of device safety and performance in the clinical evaluation. Our seasoned CER medical writers are rooted in MDR-compliant practices. Likewise, this presentation will help you identify meaningful safety and performance measures for the clinical evaluation. In addition, we will define parameters to determine the acceptability of benefit-risk. Afterwards, we will have about 10-15 minutes to answer any questions you may have on this topic.

Who should watch the recording?

Those Regulatory, Quality and Clinical leaders and teams who develop, write, review or approve CERs for EU MDR submission. Anyone interested in learning more about MDR requirements for CERs is encouraged to come too. We encourage attendees from the IVD industry to attend as well, as the content is also relevant to IVDR requirements, which align closely with MDR.

Clearly Defining Measurable Safety and Performance Endpoints

All medical devices selling in Europe must have a Clinical Evaluation Report (CER). Specific and measurable safety and performance endpoints are paramount for an acceptable CER. However, many small medical device manufacturers are struggling to adequately define and subsequently document measurable safety and performance endpoints, especially in the literature review, to support an evidence-based evaluation

The newest regulations for medical devices, Medical Device Regulation (MDR) 2017/745 and MEDDEV 2.7/1 revision 4, set high standards for confirming safety and performance according to the manufacturer’s Instructions for Use. Previously, regulations under the old MDR and MEDDEV were not as demanding. Also, manufacturers are not accustomed to the current systematic process of CER evaluations. Read more on this topic in our recent blog post, here.

[FREE WEBINAR] Are You Reg. Ready? Get your medical affairs team primed to manage new regulatory requirements.

Click here to watch the recording of this webinar.

There’s been plenty of discussion on the submission scope of current EU MDR and pending EU IVDR regulatory requirements for medical device manufactures. But what of organizational change management readiness? How should a medical device organization’s different business functions collaborate and align their people, processes, and knowledge to meet these regulatory requirements effectively and efficiently?

Watch the recorded webinar for a behind the scenes look at how one company is managing change within their organization. Dr. Imelda Omana-Zapata, BD Senior Manager Clinical Projects, will provide an overview of how she is planning and coordinating change within her organization to meet upcoming EU IVDR regulatory requirements. Laurie Mitchell, Founder and President of Criterion Edge, will discuss the critical technology and expertise required to meet more rigorous scientific validated submissions to notify bodies.

Key Takeaways:

  • Key steps involved in helping medical affairs transition to a more rigorous regulatory environments.
  • How to evaluate talent gaps, team leadership composition, and process challenges of your product portfolio.
  • Critical systematic literature review technology and experience required to ensure CER and PER submissions are audit-ready and compliant.

IVDR Compliance: Insights Gained from Writing MDR-Compliant CERs that Can Be Leveraged to Meet IVDR Requirements

Author: Suzanne Broussard, PhD  | June 8, 2021

In vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical device manufacturers are scrambling to meet the In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) 2017/746 requirements imposed by the European Union (EU). Changes in IVD classification will require the majority of IVDs currently marketed in the EU to undergo notified body scrutiny under IVDR and obtain CE marking, yet few guidance documents have been released. Lessons learned from meeting Medical Device Regulation (MDR) 2017/745 can help pave the way.  

Here we share our insights learned from writing many MDR-compliant Clinical Evaluation Reports (CERs) in the context of IVD medical devices and the looming IVDR deadline.
