EU Postmarket Surveillance Requirements for Medical Devices

When the EU MDR was released, every company with a CE Marked device suddenly had to update their Technical File procedure and Postmarket Surveillance procedure. Everyone was overwhelmed by the work required to conduct postmarket surveillance and postmarket clinical follow-up (PMCF). To reduce the labor required for postmarket surveillance, software companies have created new products that automatically download adverse event and incident reporting data from various websites.
On February 9th, we hosted a live webinar reviewing the EU requirements for PMS in the morning.
Suppose you are looking for links to the adverse event databases for European countries and other countries outside of Europe. In that case, this information is included in our post-market surveillance procedure (SYS-019) that is for sale:

In the afternoon of the 9th, we are hosting a second PMS webinar about US FDA requirements for PMS. We will also go into depth about how to conduct automated searches for PMS data using a software tool.

Very enjoyable Rob. Nicely put together.

Thank you.

I'm a professional in the medical device industry and was looking for an overview on PMS. This resulted to be a great resource! I also really liked the way you explained everything and keeping my interest all the way. Any other webinars that you could recommend for me to dig into? As part of my development plan I'm seeking to grow my knowledge in the PMS area, would like to better understand what PMS is and does as a whole.

There are 5 other videos about PMS on our channel. Here's one of the them: th-cam.com/video/7QnTkClDETw/w-d-xo.html.
We will also be offering a PMS webinar later this year that will cover ISO/TR 20416 and our procedure (SYS-019).

[@user-bb3dr5ku7h]

Can I have A common PMS report for class A and class B devices? Because only PSUR requires every device for class c and class D, right?

[@MedicalDeviceAcademy]

PMS reports should be specific to a product or product family. Therefore, if you have two different classifications, you should have two different reports.
