Understanding and navigating the regulatory landscape for Clinical Evaluation Reports (CER)

The MEDDEV 2.7/1 revision 4 - CLINICAL EVALUATION: A GUIDE FOR MANUFACTURERS AND NOTIFIED BODIES UNDER DIRECTIVES 93/42/EEC and 90/385/EEC, published in June 2016, presented significant changes in the required content and suggested format of Clinical Evaluation Reports (CERs). The revision was written to address the requirements of the Medical Device Directives (MDD) and the anticipated requirements of the Medical Device Regulation (MDR). Additionally, it focuses attention on the requirement that all technical documentation (Technical Files or Technical Dossiers) supporting a CE Mark requires a compliant CER.

Due to some of these changes, several device manufacturers with existing devices on the market have lost their CE Mark, incurring significant financial losses and spending more resources to receive a new CE Mark. Don't let this happen to you!

This webinar will discuss practical approaches to producing rev. 4 compliant CERs, and some of the procedural updates that should be considered as the MDR replaces the MDD in 2020. The webinar will also present some empirical case studies, providing examples of how Covance was able to help clients successfully address CER non-conformities.
