Course Overview

 

The Medical Device Regulation (MDR) has put a great emphasis on clinical data to maximise safety of medical devices. Some of biggest changes in the MDR impact clinical evaluations and include, GSPRs that are more extensive, more detailed evidence to demonstrate equivalence, required through the device lifecycle and a new risk classification system. As a result, the clinical evaluation report (CER) is more detailed and complex.

 

This interactive course focusses on all aspects of clinical evaluations from the latest definitions and guidelines to conducting a literature research. Crucially, you will examine the writing of CERs, and how best to structure them according to your device. Finally, you will examine how to manage the CER throughout the lifecycle of your device from product inception all the way through to PMCF. Once completed you will be confident when writing CERs back in the workplace.

Key Learning Objectives

 

  • Review the latest guidances and how it is applied to the gathering of clinical evidence throughout the lifecycle of your device
  • Examine the clinical requirements in the EU MDR and latest UK regulations for UKCA mark
  • Examine clinical evidence requirements for Class I, IIa and III to ensure compliance
  • Learn how to conduct a clinical evaluation including literature search and review
  • Examine the components of the Clinical Evaluation Report (CER) to ensure yours contains enough information for your device(s)
  • Learn to maintain the CER post market surveillance and discover how it links to your risk management plan
