Clinical Evaluation Reports (CER) under the EU MDR

At MDS Finland, we are committed to ensuring the highest standards in CER for medical devices. In response to the more stringent requirements of the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) 2017/745, our approach to clinical evaluation (report) preparation has evolved to meet these challenges. We integrate robust clinical data from both clinical studies and post-market surveillance, and we develop an accompanying CEP—the Clinical Evaluation Plan—to outline the strategy and methodology for gathering and analyzing data. This plan provides a structured framework that supports the final CER.

Our Comprehensive CER Services include

Clinical Evaluation Plan (CEP) Development

We create a detailed CEP that outlines the strategy and methodology for your device’s clinical evaluation. This plan defines the scope of clinical data to gather (such as literature reviews and any necessary clinical studies), the criteria for appraising data, and the approach for analysis. Starting with a robust CEP ensures that the subsequent CER process is structured and MDR-compliant from the outset.

In-Depth Clinical Evaluations

We conduct thorough evaluations of your medical device by reviewing extensive clinical data gathered from clinical investigations and clinical studies.

Adherence to MDR Standards

Our CERs are fully compliant with MDR requirements, incorporating detailed assessments that align with General Safety and Performance Requirements (GSPRs).

Continuous Updating

Recognizing the dynamic nature of medical device regulation, we continuously update our CERs by integrating new clinical data, post-market surveillance outcomes, and any modifications to the device.

Gap Analysis

We perform detailed gap analyses on existing clinical evaluation (reports) to identify deficiencies and ensure your documentation meets current regulatory expectations.

Risk-Benefit Analysis

Our evaluations include comprehensive risk-benefit analyses that assess the device’s safety and efficacy within its intended clinical setting and patient population.

Detailed Clinical Evidence Compilation

Our experts compile and critically analyze clinical data from clinical studies, ensuring a complete understanding of the device’s performance and safety profile.

Expert Team Involvement

Our specialists bring deep expertise in medical device evaluation, clinical research, and regulatory affairs, ensuring the accuracy and validation of both our CERs and supporting CEP documentation.
