Key Takeaways

  • Identify critical components of the clinical evaluation process that influence project success. 
  • Describe how Regulatory Affairs can support cross-functional stakeholders and lead critical decision-making throughout the clinical evaluation process. 
  • Recognize and implement early mitigation strategies to overcome roadblocks and drive to on-time submission.

[FREE WEBINAR] Scoping Your MDR and IVDR Writing Projects – The Forgotten Step

Click here to watch the recording of this webinar.

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

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

Key Takeaways

  • Planning realistic timelines and assessing your team’s bandwidth to complete this project 
  • Examples of key documents and inputs needed early in the writing process 
  • Describe where these pieces fit within the CER or PER templates 

Who Should Watch?

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.

Who are the Panelists?

Why is it important to establish state of the art during the clinical evaluation?

The large number of mentions of state of the art throughout MEDDEV 2.7/1 rev 4 provide not only a comprehensive description of the importance, purpose, and role of establishing the state of the art, but also inform on how to incorporate this analysis into the clinical evaluation. The image below summarizes several core roles of this analysis.

Establishing and describing state of the art is not an isolated task, but is central to the entire clinical evaluation. Defining the current, accepted best treatment options, and describing the risks and benefits of these options, provides essential information for multiple aspects of the clinical evaluation. Thus, establishing state of the art yields information that is essential for determining if the safety and performance of a device is compatible with current standards (in comparison to available treatment options). In other words, state of the art establishes a reference standard that is used throughout the clinical evaluation.
