As a solution provider, EDUCE offers effective strategy beginning with Gap Analysis of all available data from clinical to safety to risk management to literature before arriving on right CEP. Based on the designed plan, next steps of execution are undertaken with right teams to ensure scale, speed and quality of the report.
Clinical evaluation is a structured continuous procedure to collect, appraise and analyze clinical data pertaining to a medical device and this evaluation should be documented in the form of an report to support initial CE-markings .
The guideline determining the structure and content of the CER is MEDDEV 2.7/1 Rev. 4 ( June 2016). MEDDEV 2.7/1 Rev. 4 gives some indications for a structure for the report. since the introduction of MEDDEV 2.1/7 rev. 4.
A literature search is required in order to determine the state of the art for the subject device. This literature search is separate from the systematic literature search conducted to appraise the subject device.
The stages of clinical evaluation are presented in Figure below.
