Trending

As per the latest EU regulatory requirements, manufacturers must create and maintain a Clinical Evaluation Report (CER) and a Performance Evaluation Report (PER) for their medical device and in vitro diagnostic device, respectively.
Amidst the organization-wide changes triggered by EU MDR and IVDR, manufacturers are required to present convincing interpretations to justify safety and clinical performance through clinical or performance evaluation reports (CER/ PER). Moreover, increased transparency in post-market performance and safety documentation is adding to the administrative burden, which may lead to significant business implications in the form of loss of revenue and increased time-to-market.


Opportunities & Challenges

EU MDR/IVDR has led to rigorous post-market oversight and re-classification of devices, calling for a comprehensive performance and clinical evaluation process across the medical device classes.
Challenges for the companies in complying with the new CER requirements:
-
CER creation for newly classified and up-classified devices
-
Clinical data availability & readiness
-
Rigorous interpretation from high volume data
-
Standardizing Post-Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) & Periodic Safety Update Report (PSUR) formats
-
Clinical testing of products earlier exempted
-
Keeping track of annual safety updates and maintaining dynamic data records
-
Establishing state of the art (SOTA) with an extensive amount of supporting clinical data and applicable standards
