GENERATING ROBUST AND DEFENSIBLE POST-MARKET CLINICAL EVIDENCE

This webinar will examine PMCF under MDR as a key driver for generating robust, defensible, and sustainable post‑market clinical evidence throughout the entire medical device lifecycle.
In the context of the European Medical Device Regulation (MDR), Post‑Market Clinical Follow‑Up (PMCF) has evolved into a mandatory, continuous, and strategic process. It is no longer considered a standalone activity, but a central pillar supporting clinical evaluation, risk management, post‑market surveillance (PMS) and, where applicable, the Summary of Safety and Clinical Performance (SSCP).
Despite this, many medical device manufacturers continue to face challenges in translating MDR requirements into effective and sustainable PMCF strategies. Key difficulties include defining proportionate PMCF activities, identifying appropriate real‑world data sources, ensuring methodological rigor and data integrity, and maintaining consistent alignment between PMCF, PMS, and clinical documentation—often under significant budgetary and resource constraints.
