Performance Evaluation Plan (PEP)

Q: How does the European medical devices regulation (MDR 2017/745) impact CER requirements?

The MDR 2017/745 and revised CER guidance (MEDDEV 2.7/1 rev 4) both reflect more stringent requirements for clinical data and post-market requirements, highlighting the importance of ensuring your documentation is all in order. You will also need to update your CER on an annual basis. So get in touch with our team if you would like any additional support on this

The PEP provides you with the opportunity to combine the design inputs for performance and safety with your risk management outputs to align them with the IVDR requirements described in Annex I.

Our team at Apotech can collaborate with you to craft a structured PEP, aligning with factors like your IVD's risk class, its intended use and various technological specifications to ensure complete compliance with the more stringent IVDR.
