Clinical Evidence Generation

PMCF systems & clinical investigators for medical device regulatory compliance

An effective PMCF (Post-Market Clinical Follow-up) system is essential for ongoing approval of most medical devices under the EU MDR.

We design & initiate PMCF systems to generate clinical evidence

Unsure whether you need PMCF?

Our PMCF Checker is a quick test to see if your medical device needs a PMCF system for regulatory compliance.

Is PMCF required for my medical device?

Answer 10 quick questions to find out:

Question 1 / 10 Is your device a new or novel product, which doesn't have substantial clinical evidence demonstrating safety and performance?

Question 2 / 10 Was the clinical evidence relating to your medical device collected many years ago? (i.e. no recent clinical studies or substantial data collection exercises)

Question 3 / 10 Does available clinical evidence leave some data gaps relating to the device's indications and/or target patient populations?

Question 4 / 10 Have there been any important changes to the medical device, its label and packaging, or its IFU since it was CE-marked?

Question 5 / 10 Has your Notified Body asked you to develop a PMCF system?

Question 6 / 10 Has a new indication or change to intended purpose been introduced since CE-marking?

Question 7 / 10 Has the risk classification of your device changed?

Question 8 / 10 Have risk management activities or clinical evaluation identified any new, emergent or unmitigated risks in relation to the device?

Question 9 / 10 Have PMS activities led to questions about the safety, performance or suitability for purpose of your device or similar devices on the market? (including SAEs, FSCNs or CAPAs)

Question 10 / 10 Is the device high-risk? (in terms of the nature of the device, medical indication, target patient population or substances used in the device)

Failure to implement an appropriate PMCF system may result in loss of MDR regulatory approval and CE-marking.

It is therefore essential to ensure that any PMCF system is well-constructed and suitable for its intended purpose. Our expert team offer a complete PMCF advisory and design service dedicated to ensuring compliance with all MDR requirements.
