Gain a deeper understanding of clinical evaluations and investigations to navigate the MDR and ensure compliance
Course Overview
To improve patient safety the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) puts a greater emphasis on clinical data to provide evidence of safety, especially for riskier products. As a result, more clinical data is required by manufacturers, which in turn means more clinical investigations must be undertaken to generate the data.
But what is required to perform a trial?
What requirements must you follow?
How should the study be designed?
This interactive course will examine the requirements and design protocols of clinical investigations for new devices with case study examples. You will learn also about post-market clinical follow-up studies for existing products and will look at the impact of the new Regulation.
