Clinical Evaluation Report Sample

A clinical evaluation report sample is a document that contains the conclusions of the clinical evaluation performed. The below provided clinical evaluation report sample presents the conclusions drawn from the conducted clinical evaluation to regulatory bodies. The sample report provided below includes its contents for reference purposes.

 

It is essential to note that the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) imposes strict requirements regarding specific documentation that must be included in the final file, as part of the product’s technical documentation.

We express our appreciation to our regulatory team for making the clinical evaluation report template available to the medical device community. Since September 2019, hundreds of companies have derived benefits from these readily customizable word files, which are available for online purchase.

 

Team I3CGLOBAL maintains a high level of confidence in the quality of the documents, ensuring compliance with MDR Article 64 and MEDDEV 2.7/1 Rev. 4.

Important Information

  • The clinical evaluation report and the clinical data are used together to prove the conformity of the medical device to the general safety and performance requirements.
  • The clinical evaluation report includes the details of the clinical background, current knowledge, and state of art which can be used to evaluate the safety and performance of the device for corresponding to its intended purpose.
  • If a well-established CE marked device which is similar to the device under evaluation, then the reports of that device can be used to prove the safety and performance of the device under evaluation by claiming equivalency, provided a contract is in place between the two manufacturers.
  • Details of the post-market activities conducted are also provided in the CER, which is used to answer any unanswered questions or residual risks that are not covered by the available clinical data.
  • Also, the results of the various tests conducted are listed to prove the safety and performance of the device.
  • During the analysis of the appraised data, the requirements on safety, performance, acceptability of benefit/ risk profile, and side-effects are assessed to establish conformity to GSPR.
  • The conclusion of CER includes the acceptability of the risk-benefit profile according to current knowledge/ the state of the art in the medical fields concerned and according to available medical alternatives.
  • It also includes the adequacy of the information materials supplied, whether the intended purpose and risk reduction measures are adequate, and any discrepancies.
  • Summary of the suitability of the device, including its IFU, for the intended users and usability aspects, any discrepancies are also included along with the adequacy of claims and its discrepancies.
  • If there is consistency between the clinical data, the information materials, the risk management documentation for the device under evaluation; discrepancies should be summarized.
  • The Clinical Evaluation Report sample is used to ultimately evaluate and prove the device is safe for use on humans and that it performs as expected when used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Also, the CER shows that the presence of the device on the market is justified because of side-effects and risks, if any, are outweighed by the benefits of the device.
