Navigating Clinical Investigation Reports Without EUDAMED: The MDCG 2024-15 Guidance
The MDCG 2024-15 guidance provides critical instructions for publishing clinical investigation reports (CIR) and their summaries in the absence of EUDAMED. As EUDAMED is temporarily unavailable, the European Union has implemented a system to ensure continued transparency and compliance in medical device regulation. 📊
🏛️ Competent Authorities
The Key Players With no access to EUDAMED, sponsors must submit CIRs to the competent authorities of the Member States where the clinical investigation occurred. These authorities will take responsibility for ensuring the publication of the documents. 📝
📥 Submission Process
How It Works Sponsors must adhere to strict submission guidelines for their CIRs, including proper labeling and formatting. The competent authority will receive the report and store it in a system that ensures public access. The transparency of the process remains a priority. 🔑
🌐 Public Accessibility
Ensuring Visibility After submission, the reports and summaries will be made publicly available. The competent authorities will publish them through alternative channels like CIRCABC, ensuring that the data remains accessible to stakeholders, regulatory bodies, and the public. 👥
🕒 Temporary Measures Until EUDAMED’s Full Rollout
These procedures will stay in place until the EUDAMED Clinical Investigation/Performance Studies (CI/PS) module becomes fully operational and mandatory. This is a temporary but necessary measure to keep regulatory transparency intact. ⚙️
🔍 Conclusion: Maintaining Transparency
The MDCG 2024-15 guidance ensures that clinical investigation data remains accessible despite the absence of EUDAMED. This proactive approach helps maintain the EU’s high standards for regulatory compliance, ensuring that manufacturers stay on track with transparency and public safety. ✅
