Build Expertise Beyond Drug Trials

Understand how medical-device clinical investigations and IVD performance studies differ from conventional drug trials — from evidence strategy and device deficiencies to specimen handling and performance endpoints.

Medical-device focus

  • Clinical investigation planning and ISO 14155 principles
  • Device description, intended purpose and risk context
  • CIP, endpoints and investigation procedures
  • Device deficiencies, adverse device effects and vigilance
  • Monitoring, deviations and clinical-investigation reporting
  • Clinical evidence, PMCF and lifecycle thinking

IVD focus

  • Performance-study design and intended-use population
  • Specimen selection, handling and traceability
  • Comparator or reference method planning
  • Analytical and clinical performance concepts
  • Bias, invalid results and discrepancy management
  • Performance evidence and reporting

Portfolio output

A medical-device clinical-investigation outline and an IVD performance-study evidence map.
