Clinical Evaluation

With a clinical evaluation, you as the manufacturer prove the clinical capability of your medical device. In other words: You provide evidence that the product actually delivers the medical benefit you promise in product information material and advertising.

A clinical evaluation is based on clinical data from scientific literature and/or from own data acquired in clinical investigations. It is part of the technical documentation and must be presented for the approval of any medical device regardless of its risk class. In the evaluation process, the benefit expected from the application of the medical device according to its intended use is weighed critically against the results from risk analysis, the state of the art, clinical standards, as well as the knowledge collected from scientific publications.
