Technical File Structure: A Blueprint for Compliance

  1. Device Description and Specifications: Offers a comprehensive depiction of the medical device, including variants and accessories, detailing its intended use, applications, and operational principles.
  2. Information Supplied by the Manufacturer: Ensures all necessary instructions for use (IFU), labeling, and manufacturer-provided information are included for the device's safe and effective application.
  3. Design and Manufacturing Information: Documents the meticulous design and manufacturing processes, underscoring compliance with regulatory standards and quality benchmarks.
  4. General Safety and Performance Requirements (GSPR) Assessment: Demonstrates adherence to the GSPR checklist, affirming the device meets essential safety and performance norms outlined in EU regulations.
  5. Benefit-Risk Analysis and Risk Management File: Conducts a thorough evaluation of the device's benefits versus its risks, integrated with a strategic risk management approach throughout its lifecycle.
  6. Pre-clinical Information: Presents data from lab tests, simulations, and pre-clinical evaluations, verifying the device's safety and effectiveness.
  7. Clinical Data Evaluation: Assesses clinical data to exhibit the device's clinical safety and performance for its intended use.
  8. Post-Market Surveillance (PMS) Plan and Report (PSUR): Outlines a strategy for continuous market surveillance to ensure ongoing assessment of the device's safety and performance.
  9. Post-Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) Plan: Establishes a plan for further clinical data collection post-market to reaffirm the device's safety and efficacy over its intended lifetime.
  10. Information on Substances Included in the Device: Details concerning any biological substances included and information on substances absorbed or locally dispersed in the body.
  11. Declaration of Conformity: Formal affirmation by the manufacturer of the device's compliance with relevant EU legislation.
  12. Specifics for High-Risk Devices: Includes requisite information for Class III and Class IIb devices, underlining the need for a Clinical Evaluation Consultation Procedure (CECP).

Supplementary Documentation: Enhancing Your File's Integrity

Beyond the core components, our service extends to the preparation of essential supplementary documentation, including STED, GSPR Checklist, Risk Management File, and more, ensuring a robust technical file. Additionally, we provide support in compiling critical supplementary documents like Usability Engineering Documentation, PMS Plan & Report / Periodic Safety Update Report (PSUR), Process Validations, and others pivotal to the technical file's comprehensiveness.
