In this webinar we will provide practical solutions for leveraging user feedback surveys as PMCF activities under the EU MDR, presented by former notified body leadership and PMCF subject matter experts.
RQM+ has conducted many user feedback surveys for our clients at this point in MDR implementation. We've encountered combinations of devices and clinical data where this is the perfect solution for meeting PMCF requirements, and others where a lot of strategy is needed to make it work.
This webinar will provide you with the following, all with use device examples and case studies to ensure the following information can be easily understood and applied:
