What is Clinical Evaluation?
Clinical Evaluation is very important in the lifecycle of any medical device. As part of Clinical Evaluation, one can perform literature reviews and clinical trials to collect the clinical data of similar medical devices. The collected clinical data is then used to measure the safety and efficacy of the corresponding medical device. In addition, the clinical evaluation is also performed to assess the potential risks, contraindications and delivery mechanisms of the medical devices.
Why is Clinical Evaluation Important?
Clinical Evaluation is necessary to demonstrate the clinical safety and performance of the medical device in accordance with the requirements of the European Medical Devices Directive.
​
Clinical Evaluation offers the following benefits to your business:
-
Avoid major pitfalls of clinical regulatory submissions
-
Provide detailed documentation on performance and clinical safety of your medical device
-
Ensure continuous compliance throughout the lifecycle of your medical device
