Choose clinical and post-market documents by activity

Separate planning from reporting. A Clinical Investigation Plan sets out a prospective study; the Clinical Investigation Report records its methods and results. A PMCF Plan defines future follow-up activities, while the PMCF Evaluation Report evaluates findings from completed activities.

Clinical Evaluation connects evidence appraisal and analysis with the CER. Post-Market Surveillance organizes broader real-world information and feedback. Complaint Handling, Complaint Trending, Vigilance and Medical Device Reporting support different assessment and escalation activities.

FDA Medical Device Reporting and the EU Medical Device Regulation both use the abbreviation MDR in different contexts. Check the product title and market scope. Review the individual contents and related bundles before selecting documents for your device and activities.

Clinical evaluation and PMCF bundle

Clinical investigation procedure and related documents


Practical guides

Connect clinical evaluation and investigations with PMCF, surveillance and the relevant reporting workflows.

Choose clinical and post-market documents by the evidence decision


Use this hub when planning clinical evidence, following up a marketed device or organizing safety information. Begin with the device’s claims, markets and current evidence gaps. Clinical evaluation, PMCF, broader surveillance and event reporting connect, but their documents are not interchangeable.


Your decision

Starting point

What to check

Claims need an evidence-based conclusion

Clinical Evaluation / CER

Assess relevance, limitations and unresolved questions.

Future clinical follow-up needs planning

PMCF Plan

Define an objective, suitable method and timetable.

Completed follow-up needs evaluation

PMCF Evaluation Report

Analyze actual findings, deviations and implications.

Ongoing field information needs a collection process

PMS Procedure

Connect information sources with analysis and action.

A periodic safety output applies

PSUR Procedure

Check device applicability and the relevant reporting route.

A clinical investigation is being organized

Clinical Investigation Procedure or focused study documents

Distinguish the prospective plan, investigator information and completed report.


What to address first


Start with the clinical-evaluation guide to connect claims and evidence, then use the PMCF and PMS guides for the continuing evidence program. If an individual event may need reporting or field action, use the reporting workflow promptly; periodic reporting should not become a reason to defer that assessment.


Individual document, bundle or existing system?


The clinical bundle includes Clinical Evaluation, PMCF Plan, PMCF Evaluation Report, PMS and Clinical Investigation. PSUR is separately listed. The broader Clinical Investigation Procedure already includes study-plan, report and investigator-brochure material described in its listing; check overlap before also purchasing standalone versions.
