Teamwork with Tailor-Made Solutions

Here are some examples of how collaborations in Clinical Development with GBA Key2Compliance could look:

A CE-marked class IIa product under the Medical Device Directive (MDD) required support with both biological and clinical evaluation for recertification.
Collaborating closely with the product manager and the clinician/inventor, all documents were prepared within 3 months and approved by the Notified Body without any queries.
For a class II product undergoing CE marking, the customer sought to strengthen safety data through an investigation conducted by GBA Key2Compliance at three sites in Sweden.
We were responsible for project management, monitoring, data management, and documentation support.
Following a response from the Notified Body regarding the Clinical Evaluation Report (CER) for a CE-marked software product, which included a lengthy list of queries to be addressed within 3 weeks, GBA Key2Compliance revised the Clinical Evaluation Plan and Report with a new strategy and stronger arguments.
The response was submitted to the Notified Body on time.
For a class I product under development, GBA Key2Compliance provided 6 months of support. The clinical evaluation was partly based on a similar product and literature search.
The new CE marking was achieved with only one clarification needed, without revision of the Clinical Evaluation Plan (CEP) and CER.
