- UK MDR
- EU MDR
Manufacturers must demonstrate that their device is supported by valid clinical evidence – either from clinical investigations, literature reviews, or postmarket data.
A comprehensive clinical evaluation supports:
✔ Technical documentation
✔ Riskbenefit analysis
✔ Postmarket surveillance planning (PMCF)

A compliant clinical evaluation includes:
Clinical Evaluation Plan (CEP)
- Defines objectives
- Outlines methods and data sources
- Aligns with regulatory expectations
Literature Review
- Assessment of published clinical data
- Evaluation of relevance to your specific device
Clinical Data Analysis
- Synthesis of clinical findings
- Critical appraisal of data quality
Clinical Evaluation Report (CER)
- Detailed report summarising evidence and conclusions
- Regulatoryready documentation for submissions
