clinical evaluation of medical devices. Clinical evaluation is
responsibility of the manufacturer and is a critical step in
process of CE Marking. Many manufacturers struggle and find it
tedious to comply with the requirements of CER.
If manufacturers want to place your devices in European
Market, they must prepare and maintain a clinical evaluation
report that complies with the requirements of MEDDEV 2.7.1.
rev. 4 and EU MDR Article 61 and Annex XIV part A.
Maven Profcon Services LLP. has a team of experienced
professionals who are well versed with the CE regulations
and literature reviews to compile your CER.
In accordance with the European regulation, the clinical
evaluation and the clinical evaluation report must be actively
updated with data obtained from post-market surveillance.

summarised, appraised, analysed and referenced) in the
clinical evaluation report. The appraisal should be
documented in the clinical evaluation report to the extent
that it can be critically reviewed by others.
Clinical evaluation report shall also include current state of art
and clinical background of the device and the evaluators
should check the clinical evaluation report, provide
verification that it includes an accurate statement of their
analysis and opinions, and sign the clinical evaluation report.
