What You Can Expect to Learn

The summary of safety and clinical performance (SSCP) for Class III and implantable medical devices and summary of safety and performance (SSP) for Class C and D IVDs are new requirements that were not included in the MDD or IVDD. Manufacturers creating these documents for the first time have questions, and RQM+ has answers. 

This webinar will provide guidance and instruction on:

  • What the intention is behind the requirement for an SSCP/SSP
  • How frequently the documentation must be updated
  • Who the intended audience is
  • How to interpret the MDR and IVDR requirements
  • How to write an SSCP/SSP

Former notified body leadership will also address the most common challenges and mistakes, including actionable tips for:

  • Presenting the residual risk table, what details to include, and how to validate
  • Determining how much detail meets the requirements without divulging confidential information
  • Aligning SSCPs with CERs and SSPs with PERs
  • Writing content for the patient audience
  • Validating patient content through user surveys, labeling comprehension studies, and other mechanisms

Learning Level

Intermediate: Content is designed based upon the assumption that individuals have basic knowledge of the topic(s) and/or demonstrated competence related to the topic(s). Higher-level concepts are introduced during lectures.
