European medical device regulation.

EU regulation 2017/45 (MDR) and its counterpart 2017/746 on in vitro diagnostics (IVDR) set the requirements for medical technologies to obtain CE mark and enter the European market. Compared to the replaced Directives, these regulations impose stricter processes for demonstrating device safety and performance throughout their lifecycle.

One additional requirement is a systematic literature review to establish the current state of the art, standard of care, and analyze device performance and safety compared to similar or benchmark devices.

To prevent shortages, amending regulation (EU) 2023/607 extends the certificate validity of legacy devices under MDD/AIMDD or IVDD until December 31, 2028, under certain conditions. However, the transition deadline to the new regulations remains tight.

"Lindexer is nicely polished software product that is a perfect response to the EU MDR and the increasing importance of clinical evaluation reporting. The great advantage of Lindexer is the immediate connection to literature databases and the collaborative setup, where different team members can work together. It is an interesting tool for medtech companies, but also for CROs and even academic institutions."

Wim Laloo Clinical Affairs Professional

Lindexer’s intuitive interface made it easy to quickly learn to navigate the software. The reporting feature allows a quick download of data from every step of the literature review, and easy configuration of pivot tables which can be nicely integrated into the report. Having experienced the benefits of the improved workflow, I plan to use Lindexer for all my future Literature Reviews!
