Training Objectives
Once a device is used for diagnostic purposes on human specimens, the EU Competent Authorities expect clinical evidence, i.e. de clinical data and performance evaluation results, to support the safe and effective use of the device, as intended by its manufacturer and as indicated in the labeling, package insert and promotional material. A performance evaluation is the “assessment and analysis of data to establish or verify the scientific validity, the analytical and, where applicable, the clinical performance of a device”. A performance evaluation is conducted according to an established device-specific plan, the Performance Evaluation Plan (PEP), and the summative assessment of the identified clinical evidence is consolidated in the Performance Evaluation Report (PER).
The objective of this training is to provide a thorough understanding of what a performance evaluation is and what it consists of, and to provide information on how to strategize the collection of relevant clinical evidence on an IVD medical device.
