Clinical evidence
that regulators
accept.

A European CRO for complex cardiovascular device programs. Designed from the inside of Notified Bodies, our clinical strategy is built the way regulators expect to see it from the very first protocol version.

Why Eclevar Medtech

A cardiovascular CRO built for
regulatory precision

Eclevar Medtech is a premium CRO, seeking clients with premium, novel, first-in-class and best-in-class devices. Every cardiovascular program we accept receives dedicated senior attention and conviction from protocol design to PMCFER submission.

Turning real-world practice
into regulatory evidence

Many high-risk cardiovascular procedures are performed off-label before formal regulatory approval is secured. Eclevar Medtech designs Investigator-Initiated Studies (IIS) that generate data suitable for future post-market follow-ups analyses and regulatory submissions.

1

Gap Analysis

Identify which clinical questions in your existing Notified Body submission remain unanswered by current evidence.

2

Protocol Design

Structure the study with endpoints, visit schedules, and eCRF architecture perfectly aligned to Annex XIV.

3

Ethics & CA

Eclevar Medtech prepares the full ethical dossier addressing country-specific requirements across all participating sites.

4

Data & PMCF

All data is captured in the MILO EDC with Annex XIV traceability columns pre-populated. Clean, error-proof data feeds directly into the PMCFER from day one.

5

Regulatory Ready

PMCFER is updated with IIS-derived evidence. Your Notified Body submission reflects the expanded indication with inspection-grade data.

"Off-label use in TAVI for bicuspid aortic valve, mitral regurgitation bridge procedures, and complex anatomy cases generate rich clinical data. Without structured capture, this evidence disappears. With Eclevar Medtech IIS architecture, it becomes the foundation of your next PMCF Evaluation Report."
