PMCF expertise published in Journal of Medical Device Regulation 2026
This article explores the role of post-market RWD/RWE in establishing sufficient clinical evidence for legacy devices transitioning to the MDR. It outlines key data sources, explains how off-label data can be captured and used, shares Notified Body perspectives and case study examples, and considers how post-market surveys can generate high-quality RWD. It concludes with practical guidance on integrating these data into an ongoing clinical evidence strategy.

The Global Shift in Real-World Evidence: Insights from MedTech Industry Leaders
Real-World Evidence (RWE) is playing an increasingly important role in global MedTech regulatory decision-making, supporting evidence generation across the product lifecycle, from pre-market submissions to post-market surveillance. Watch this webcast which features industry experts to understand how MedTech manufacturers can build effective, compliant RWE strategies.
From data to confidence: PMCF survey success for a Class III Guidewire
As part of compliance with the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR), the manufacturer of a Class III guidewire needed to generate robust Post Market Clinical Follow-Up (PMCF) data to confirm ongoing safety and performance. The study was designed to evaluate two key endpoints: procedural success, and freedom from adverse events.
Real-World Data: The fuel behind modern clinical evidence, and why Post Market Surveys are a smart way to capture it
As regulators worldwide including the FDA and EU Notified Bodies place greater emphasis on RWD, the industry faces a familiar but intensified challenge: how to generate high-quality, device-specific evidence efficiently, reliably, and without escalating costs. That’s where Post-Market Surveys come in.
Reflections from MEDDEV Day and RAPS European Lifecycle Management Conference 2025
In this piece, Marcus Torr, Head of Post Market Surveys, shares his reflections on the discussions shaping the regulatory landscape, the themes emerging across both events, and how continued collaboration can drive meaningful improvements in patient safety and lifecycle management.
Gender bias in medical device research: Why disaggregated data matters
By analysing data through a more granular lens, including disaggregation by gender, we can uncover meaningful insights, identify differential responses, and ultimately drive more equitable outcomes for all patient groups. Doing so also supports alignment with regulatory expectations around inclusive and evidence based post-market surveillance.

How we helped our client expand the indication of their device through a survey collecting real world data
Our client’s device is used for a specific indication, however users identified a potential benefit of the device’s design to perform for another indication. This study differs from typical PMCF efforts, with an aim to update the device’s labelling (IFUs) with safety and feasibility data for the expanded use. Find out how we heled out client in collecting retrospective real-world data to support the indication expansion.
