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.

Scoping Your MDR and IVDR Writing Projects – The Forgotten Step

In most of our webinars, we’ve focused on the writing process including which steps to take and how to organize your thoughts onto paper. However, we’ve never discussed what happens before the writing process begins. So what do you need before you get started?

In this webinar, we’ll discuss the process of scoping a writing project for either MDR or IVDR. We will share the key questions we ask our clients before we start writing and what key inputs are necessary to kickstart the project and ensure you’re starting on the right foot.

We hope to

• Give insight into planning realistic timelines and assessing your team’s bandwidth to complete your project
• Provide examples of key documents and inputs needed early in the writing process
• Describe where these pieces fit within the Clinical Evaluation Report or Performance Evaluation Report templates

Who is this forum for?

Those regulatory, quality and clinical leaders and teams who are tasked with the development, writing, review, or approval of Clinical Evaluation Reports for MDR submissions or Performance Evaluation Reports for IVDR submissions. Anyone interested in learning more about the requirements for these reports is also welcome to attend.
