Medical Device CRO in Europe | EU MDR Clinical Trials, PMCF & CER | Eclevar MedTech
Medical Device CRO · EU MDR 2017/745

The premier European medical device CRO, from investigation to PMCF.

EU MDR 2017/745 demands a different kind of CRO: one where the clinical evidence strategy is designed the way regulators expect to see it, from protocol version 1. Eclevar delivers clinical operations, medical writing and data management 100% in-house, with former Notified Body reviewers on the team.

Regulatory leadership

The reviewers who certified the files now build them.

Eclevar's model brings the regulatory perspective inside the CRO, eliminating the gap between what manufacturers submit and what assessors expect. Dr Mark DaCosta, COO and former TÜV SÜD reviewer, and Dr Nikhil Khadabadi, CMO for orthopaedics and spine and also a former TÜV SÜD senior reviewer, lead a team that designs clinical evidence exactly the way Notified Bodies expect to read it, from the first protocol version.

Why a specialist CRO

Generalist pharma CRO versus specialist MedTech CRO.

Under EU MDR, a device programme run on a pharma template is a programme built to fail inspection. The difference is structural.

Generalist pharma CRO

A pharma model forced onto devices.

  • Defaults to ICH-GCP (E6)forcing inappropriate pharma models onto device trials.
  • Rarely handles Class IIb / III implantsand lacks MDCG 2020-6 knowledge.
  • Struggles with operator-dependent variablesand device learning curves.
  • Treats PMCF as passive Phase IV surveillance.
  • Heavy, expensive legacy EDCbuilt for drug trials.
Eclevar MedTech

Built natively for medical devices.

  • Strict adherence to ISO 14155:2026,the mandatory standard for devices.
  • Specialised in Class IIb and III,strategies built by former Notified Body reviewers.
  • Endpoints mapped to GSPRs(General Safety and Performance Requirements).
  • Proactive, registry-based PMCFrequired by Annex XIV Part B.
  • MILO Health EDC,built natively for agile device trials.

A client's live testimonial on Eclevar's capability to run complex trials.

Eclevar manages RegenLab's PMCF programme on chronic wound devices. This is a randomized study of 160 patients across 14 sites in 5 EU countries, covering both diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) and venous leg ulcer (VLU) indications. The partnership combines Eclevar's ISO 14155 clinical expertise with the Milo Studio platform to deliver post-market clinical follow-up evidence that supports both Notified Body scrutiny and reimbursement endpoints, from protocol design through to final study report.

FAQ

Questions device sponsors ask us.

Why choose a specialist medical device CRO rather than a generalist pharma CRO?

Device programmes require strict adherence to ISO 14155:2026, endpoints mapped to General Safety and Performance Requirements, proactive registry-based PMCF under Annex XIV Part B and Notified Body insight. Generalist pharma CROs default to ICH-GCP and treat PMCF as passive surveillance. Eclevar is built natively for devices, with strategies designed by former Notified Body reviewers.

What services does Eclevar deliver as a medical device CRO?

Clinical operations and PMCF investigations under ISO 14155, medical writing (CER under MDCG 2020-6, PMCF Plans, SSCP), 100% in-house clinical data management on the MILO Health EDC, Level 4 PMCF surveys under MDCG 2020-7, registry-based real world evidence and EU MDR regulatory strategy.

Which therapeutic areas does Eclevar cover?

Cardiovascular and structural heart, orthopaedics and spine, dental devices, neuromodulation and neuro-implants, and advanced wound care, regenerative and aesthetic devices, each with a dedicated specialist practice.

Does Eclevar deliver in-house or through subcontractors?

Clinical operations, medical writing and data management are 100% in-house, with one point of accountability and no handoff fragmentation, and in-house CRAs across the top EU countries rather than a network of subcontractors.

Is Eclevar audit ready for Notified Body inspection?

Yes. Eclevar is ISO 13485 certified and structures every programme for trial master file completeness and Notified Body inspection readiness from day one, informed by former Notified Body reviewers who know what fails inspection.

What is the MILO Health EDC?

MILO Health is Eclevar's proprietary electronic data capture platform, built natively for EU MDR with Annex XIV mapping and validation to 21 CFR Part 11 and ISO 14155:2026, and the award-winning trial forecasting engine recognised at the xShare and EUCROF 2026 Open Call.
