Gap Analysis and CER Remediation for a Global Medical Device Company

Gap Analysis and CER Remediation for a Global Medical Device Company

Project Summary

A US-based non-invasive radio-surgical equipment manufacturer was looking to obtain the CE Mark for their Class IIb device and introduce it in the European market. The device approved by the FDA and marketed in the US. The client sought support with transitioning to the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) European Union (EU) Regulation 2017/745 regarding their Technical File and remediation of the Clinical Evaluation Report (CER). While the client already had all documentation in place per the Medical Device Directive (MDD), they had received observations from the Notified body (TUV SUD) on their previous submission.

The client aimed to address the observations and assess gaps in their current technical documentation to ensure that the device conforms to the requirements of the EU MDR. Another challenge that the client faced was the lack of adequate clinical data on the device, which was expected as the device was commercialised only in 2018.

Celegence Solution & Approach:

Celegence partnered closely with the client for analysing gaps in the Technical File and remediating the CER.

Highlights:

The Celegence team authored the Clinical Evaluation Plan, and the Clinical Evaluation Report including the Literature Search Report in compliance to EU/MDR 2017/745 and MEDDEV 2.7/1 Rev.04. The literature search strategy for CER had to be modified to leverage data available on the treatment modality itself and create a robust State of the Art discussion.
