Demonstrate medical device safety and performance using clinical trials or literature reviews. This article guides choosing the appropriate evidence route for regulatory compliance.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Device Regulation
  • Clinical Evidence Generation

Background:

  • Medical device directives require robust clinical evidence for market access.
  • Both clinical trials and literature reviews serve as valid sources of clinical evidence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To delineate the criteria for selecting between clinical trials and literature reviews.
  • To guide manufacturers in demonstrating medical device safety and performance.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of clinical trial and literature review methodologies.
  • Review of regulatory guidelines for clinical evidence requirements.

Main Results:

  • Clinical trials offer direct data but are resource-intensive.
  • Literature reviews provide broader insights but require rigorous systematic approaches.
