The implementation of IVDR requirements has challenged IVD manufacturers to align their internal processes and systems with these rigorous regulations. Therefore, companies realize reviewing published literature for device-specific clinical data to establish the state-of-the-art (scientific validity) is imperative. In addition, establishing clinical performance of their products is key. However, many manufacturers may not be familiar with or have the capability to perform rigorous, IVDR-compliant systematic literature reviews (SLR). Finally, screening, selection and data extraction are typically challenges for manufacturers as well.
In this presentation we break down the steps of the SLR process and take a wholistic approach to conducting an IVDR-compliant SLR. Next, using case studies, we illustrate the effective use of SLR-derived data to develop the Scientific Validity Report (SVR) and the Clinical Performance Report (CPR).
Joining Criterion Edge’s President Laurie Mitchell, is our guest speaker, Queenita Fernandes, Medtronic’s Medical Safety Manager, Patient Monitoring & Respiratory Interventions. In this webinar, we will discuss how to deploy systematic literature review in order to augment post-market clinical surveillance, and share our best tips on a robust systematic literature review process. Following this, our guest speaker will share an informative case study illustrating more.

Performing a methodologically sound literature review in the early stages of product development, as well as in the later stages, can help reduce most of the inadequacies highlighted by the European Commission in section A6 of MEDDEV 2.7/1 revision 4. Section A6 provides examples of studies that lack scientific validity for the demonstration of adequate clinical performance and/or safety.
Here are the seven areas highlighted in section A6 of MEDDEV 2.7/1 revision 4 that manufacturers tend to have the most problems in proving scientific validity:

Every day, pharma and medical device companies need data from Systematic Literature Reviews (SLRs) to inform, direct, and help drive their internal processes and decisions. Of course, to comply with global regulatory requirements, clinical literature is also required. Conducting SLRs to search, screen, and extract data from published sources can present challenges to your team in terms of expertise (e.g., medical librarian), methodology, and resources. It takes trained people with the availability to screen, review, and analyze the literature.

This white paper is a companion piece to our popular webinar where we break down the steps of the systematic literature review (SLR) process and take a wholistic approach to conducting an In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR)-compliant SLR.
Leveraging published data can help meet global regulatory expectations, fill knowledge gaps, and inform internal decision-making. This applies to IVDR and Medical Device Regulation 2017/745 (MDR) requirements, but for the sake of providing an example, we focus on IVDR here. A methodologically-sound SLR can leverage published data for critical IVDR-required reports (e.g., the Scientific Validity Report, clinical performance). Remember, an SLR is far more than an internet search. It is a clear and robust plan for the identification, retrieval, selection, appraisal, and weighting of published data. SLR has long been the “gold standard” process for evidence-based research, especially in the academic and professional arenas. In today’s regulatory landscape where rigorous methodological SLR principles are now being mandated, adopting a transparent and reproducible process for literature reviews is essential. Every methodologically-sound SLR has 5 clearly defined steps…

With the implementation of IVDR and MDR requirements, device manufacturers often struggle to align their internal processes and systems to comply with these rigorous regulations. Consequently, companies realize the need to review published literature for device-specific clinical data. However many manufacturers may not be familiar with or have the capability to perform all steps of the rigorous systematic literature review process, including screening, selection and data extraction.
Watch our webinar where we break down the steps of the SLR process and take a wholistic approach to conducting an IVDR-compliant SLR. Using case studies, the presentation illustrates the effective use of SLR-derived data to develop the Scientific Validity Report (SVR) and the Clinical Performance Report (CPR). We encourage professionals from the medical device industry to watch as well, as the content is also relevant to MDR requirements, which align closely with IVDR.
