Performance Evaluation Report (PER)

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

Your PER is the key document for performance evaluation, bringing all elements of clinical evidence together for the device in context with benefit-risk statements and state-of-the-art status.

It provides you with an opportunity to discuss your IVD device in terms of its intended purpose and risk classification. Therefore, manufacturers should compile evidence, determine the benefit-risk and document the performance evaluation and its output as part of this report.

However, many IVD manufacturers face challenges in producing the clinical data necessary under the IVDR due to significantly more stringent requirements.
