Literature reviews play a crucial role in demonstrating the safety and efficiency of medical devices and represent one of the frequently assessed elements of clinical evaluations. A properly conducted review allows for the identification of relevant clinical data, description of the state of the art (SOTA), evaluation of known risks and adverse effects, and, in some cases, a significant reduction in the need for new clinical trials. Regulatory practice places increasing emphasis on the quality, transparency, and repeatability of literature reviews. An insufficiently defined search procedure, a lack of justification for the selection of studies, or an unclear link to the assessment of safety and efficiency are among the frequent comments made by notified bodies and supervisory authorities.
This webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of how to properly plan, conduct, and document a literature review so that it is regulatory defensible and practically applicable to clinical evaluations of medical devices.
Emphasis will be placed on the correct setting of criteria and keywords, working with databases, evaluating the quality of evidence, and creating a clear Literature Search Report that will stand up to audit or technical documentation assessment.
