✅ Smooth regulatory approvals

✅ Continuous market presence

✅ Strong clinical and customer confidence

✅ Faster expansion into new markets

Why CER and PMS Matters?

❌ Regulatory non-compliance and penalties

❌ Product recalls or market suspension

❌ Loss of clinical trust and reputation

❌ Missed global market opportunities

What is a Clinical Evaluation Report (CER)?​

Literature reviews and clinical data appraisal

Equivalence justification (if applicable)

PMS, PMCF, and vigilance data integration

Safety and performance analysis

A CER is a structured document demonstrating the clinical safety and performance of a medical device based on existing clinical data.

We help you build:

Benefit-Risk Conclusions

A CER file is required:

What is Post Market Surveillance (PMS)?​

PMS Plans & Reports (as per MDR/IMDR)

Trend analysis & signal detection

Integration with CER & Risk Management files

Complaint & vigilance tracking

Frequently asked questions

What supporting documents do I need to provide for CER preparation?

We typically require your device description, IFU, risk management file, PMS/PMCF reports (if available), and any previous CER or clinical data. If these are unavailable, we’ll guide you in gathering alternate sources or creating what’s needed.

What if my device has very limited published clinical data?

We assist in building a strong CER using a combination of internal data, post-market surveillance, risk-benefit analysis, and scientific rationale. Even with limited external data, we ensure your CER is evidence-based and justified.

What’s the difference between PMS and PMCF?

PMS is the overall post-market monitoring process. PMCF (Post-Market Clinical Follow-Up) is a specific activity within PMS to proactively gather clinical data to address gaps and confirm safety/performance over time. Both feed directly into the CER — PMS providing post-market vigilance data and PMCF supplying targeted clinical evidence.

How do vigilance reports fit into PMS?

Vigilance reports (e.g., serious incident reports) are a subset of PMS data. While vigilance focuses on urgent safety reporting, PMS looks at overall performance and safety trends, including minor incidents and feedback.
