Post-Market Surveillance & Vigilance: Ensuring Safety, Compliance, and Market Success under (EU) MDR

Interested participants from other time zones are welcome to contact us regarding the training at [email protected].

Under the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR 2017/745), Post-Market Surveillance and Vigilance are no longer optional but legal obligations central to a device’s lifecycle. Manufacturers must establish a proactive, systematic PMS plan and maintain a Post-Market Clinical Follow-up where applicable, ensuring continuous evaluation of safety and performance. Vigilance requirements demand timely incident reporting, trend analysis, and corrective actions, all closely monitored by Competent Authorities.

The EU has a structured approach to PMS, as outlined in the European Medical Device Regulation. Manufacturers are required to establish a comprehensive PMS system that includes PMS Plan as a documented strategy for monitoring device performance and safety, a Post-Market Surveillance Report to summarize the findings from PMS activities, which must be updated regularly and the Periodic Safety Update Report which is required for higher-risk devices, summarizing the results of PMS activities and any corrective actions taken.

This training provides practical guidance on implementing compliant PMS and Vigilance systems, from preparing robust PSURs and PMCF reports to navigating EUDAMED reporting requirements. Participants will learn how to transform regulatory obligations into opportunities, strengthening product safety, achieving MDR compliance while driving long-term market success.
