Getting more clinical data has been talked about in Europe for a decade now, since the talks started on the ‘recast’, ultimately culminating in the MDR that is rapidly getting into full force. One of the core reasons behind the legislative update was to reinforce the rules on clinical evidence and strengthening of post market surveillance requirements for manufacturers. After having ignored the issue for a few years, many manufacturers moved to schedule large clinical trials, only to get to a realization that this could turn out to be unaffordable, and products would have to be removed from the EU market. In recent years the search has focused on the middle ground: finding cost effective ways and tools to create clinical data, and alternatively to just collect clinical data and turn them into clinical evidence. This workshop will guide you trough the benefit and pitfalls encountered in this middle road to clinical safety.
