We prepare a final clinical evaluation report with conclusion about medical device’s general safety and performance requirements based on the clinical data during pre-market and post market stages.
Identification, collection, appraisal, and analysis of the medical device’s pre-market and post-market clinical data in order to demonstrate MDR GSPR compliance.
- A clinical evaluation report should be compiled to document the clinical evaluation with a specified time schedule.
- It should provide enough detail for understanding the search criteria adopted, data that are available, all assumptions made, and all conclusions reached.
- The contents of the clinical evaluation report are relevant to the medical devices which should vary according to the nature and history of the device under evaluation.
The description of the device under evaluation and a clinical evaluation plan should be provided. Scope of the clinical evaluation should include the identification of devices covered by this clinical evaluation report, products, models, sizes, software versions, accessories, whether it is on the market, since when, in what regions, history of the device, in case of update in the plan including date of past modifications with reasons and description, sales volumes, changes since the last report, identification of the sections of the clinical evaluation report that are concerned with the new information and have been modified should be detailed.
We Provide Clinical Evaluation Report Services include:
Our writing team has developed easy to use and edit clinical evaluation report templates, procedures and SOP's.

What is know by Data generated and held by manufacturer?
This section shall include details of clinical investigations, if any, PMS, PMCF, complaints, details of field safety corrective action, other user reports, relevant preclinical study data (bench test reports, verification and validation data).
What is the relevance of Bench Testing?
The results obtained from any external laboratory or in house and its evaluation in significance with clinical evaluation should be provided.
What are to be considered for next year evaluation
• The significant risks of device if high-risk or medium, high-risk target populations, severity of disease/ treatment challenges, duration of risk.
• Whether the device is well established or the innovation is there, the current level of confidence in the evaluation of clinical performance and clinical safety of the device from the data available from clinical investigations, PMCF studies, registries or other systematic studies, reports of risk or adverse event rates under the vigilance system.
• The clinical evaluation is actively updated with :
When new information is received from PMS that has the potential to change the current evaluation; if no such information is received, then at least annually if the device carries significant risks or is not yet well established; or every 2 to 5 years.
If the device is not expected to carry significant risks and is well established, a justification should be provided.
