PMCF plays a vital role in managing the complete lifecycle of medical devices and is a key component of the Post-Market Surveillance (PMS), required for medical devices under the EU MDR.
Our team of seasoned regulatory experts is well-equipped to meet your PMCF requirements to comply with EU MDR.
The PMCF procedure is a proactive, continuous method of collecting and assessing clinical data on the performance and safety of a medical device in use by a patient or clinician in a “real-world” setting.
The Annex XIV Part B of the MDR states that the objectives of the PMCF are to
- Collect and evaluate clinical data relating to the performance and safety of a device bearing the CE marking when used and marketed within its intended purpose, throughout the device’s expected lifetime.
- Identify unknown side-effects and monitor known side-effects and contraindications
- Identify and analyse emergent risks
- Ensure the continued acceptability of the benefit-risk ratio
- Identify possible systematic misuse, or off-label use of the device, and verify the intended purpose is correct
All this data is essential for ensuring the continued safety and performance of the medical device throughout its lifecycle, when used by patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals in day-to-day practice.
