Webinar details

The EU MDR lays out requirements for a proactive post-market surveillance system that that inputs into the ongoing risk management and clinical evaluation processes throughout the device life cycle. In this webinar, we’ll cover the requirements for the PMS system, PMS planning, and PMS reporting. With significant new requirements for device-specific plans and reports, you’ll need to update your post-market surveillance system with enough time for your staff to implement the changes.

The time to start is now.

PMS planning is a device-specific process that defines what data will be collected, how it will be analyzed, and what actions will be taken. Using the risk management plan as a guide, the PMS plan identifies specific parameters for handling serious incidents and trend reporting of non-serious incidents. It defines suitable indicators and thresholds to be used in the continuous reassessment of the benefit-risk ratio, including analysis of data regarding similar devices. The PMS plan establishes whether PMCF is needed and lays out the PMCF plan.

The EU MDR requires several reporting mechanisms for the PMS system, including PMS Reports (for Class I devices), PSURs (for Class IIa and higher devices), PMCF Evaluation Reports, as well as vigilance and trend reporting. These reports are inputs for the ongoing risk management and clinical evaluation processes throughout the device lifecycle. We’ll talk about how to structure the reports for seamless updates to risk management and clinical evaluation reports. 

What’s covered?

This session covers new requirements for post-market surveillance planning and reporting under the MDR, and the integration of post-market surveillance activities with risk management and clinical evaluation activities throughout the device life cycle.
