What is an MDR Gap Analysis?

 

Until today, medical devices were complying with the Medical Device Directive to sell their products in Europe. However major amendments are made in the current MDD to keep up with the growing technological advances in healthcare and medical devices. The new regulations passed by the Council of the European Union is Medical Device Regulations (MDR) 2017/745 that came into force in May 2017 & manufacturers have a transition time of three years until May 2021 to comply with the new regulations.

An MDR Gap Analysis is the process of systematically examining a medical device’s clinical evidence portfolio to determine whether it demonstrates conformity with all relevant MDR requirements. It is a crucial first step in developing and maintaining an MDR compliance strategy.

Typically, all MDD-MDR transition projects initiate with Gap Assessment. Gap Assessment is a crucial activity during MDR transition & our team with engineering & regulatory expertise are well equipped to conduct this activity with an analytical mindset, resolve any regulatory concern and develop robust regulatory strategy for medical device manufacturers.

Clinical Evaluation Report for Medical Devices

A Clinical Evaluation Report (CER) for medical devices is a comprehensive document that assesses the safety and performance of a medical device through the review and analysis of clinical data. The purpose of a CER is to demonstrate the device's conformity with relevant regulations, standards, and requirements, such as the Medical Device Regulation (MDR). A well-prepared CER plays a crucial role in gaining regulatory approval and ensuring the device's ongoing compliance throughout its lifecycle. Here's an outline of the key components typically included in a Clinical Evaluation Report : 1. Device Description and Intended Use :    - Provide a detailed description of the medical device, including its specifications, intended use, and indications for use.    - Clearly define the device's intended purpose, patient population, and the medical condition it is intended to address 2. Clinical Literature Review :    - Conduct a systematic and thorough r...
