Show Notes
This episode delves into the stringent clinical evidence requirements under the European Union's Medical Device Regulation (MDR 2017/745). We explore the top challenges manufacturers face, including the heightened standards for clinical evaluation plans and reports (CEPs/CERs), the complexities of justifying 'sufficient data,' the difficulties in making equivalence arguments, and the continuous nature of Post-Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF).
Key Questions
- What does "sufficient clinical evidence" truly mean under the EU MDR?
- Why are so many companies forced to rewrite their Clinical Evaluation Reports (CERs)?
- How have the rules for claiming equivalence to another device changed?
- Is Post-Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) optional or a continuous requirement?
- How do you align your marketing claims, risk management, and PMS data?
- What are the biggest clinical data hurdles for borderline and Class IIa/IIb devices?
- How can you prepare your clinical evaluation for stricter Notified Body scrutiny?
