Post-Marketing Clinical Follow-up with Helene Quie (PMCF)

PMCF is a key element of the Post-Marketing Surveillance process. As there were a lot of questions about it then I decided to ask Helene Quie some questions while I was at Medica 2019.

PMCF or Post-Marketing Clinical Follow-Up is a cornerstone of the Medical Device Regulation 2017/745.

This is why I took the opportunity to ask some questions about it to Helene Quie from Qmed Consulting. I met Helene at Medica 2019 in Dusseldorf and she accepted to help the audience to have a better understanding of PMCF.

Helene was part of the podcast episode 40 where we discussed Clinical Evaluation Reports or CER and specifically about the way to prove the equivalence between devices.

PMCF is part of this big box that is PMS or Post-Market Surveillance and this can be a good strategy to start one so you can collect data from the market and use them to prove that your products continue to be safe. This is more important for products that are transitioning between MDD and MDR and which do not have data available.
