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.
EUCROF, Amsterdam 2026. Ranked first among all European CROs for clinical innovation, real-world evidence strategy, and EHDS-aligned data architecture.
Under the MDD, many relied on generalist pharmaceutical CROs. Under EU MDR Article 61, treating a device like a drug leads to protocol rejections.
| Clinical Standard | Generalist Pharma CRO | Specialized MedTech CRO (Eclevar) |
|---|---|---|
| Core Regulatory Framework | Defaults to ICH-GCP (E6), forcing inappropriate pharma models. | Strict adherence to ISO 14155:2020, the mandatory standard for devices. |
| High-Risk Device Expertise | Rarely handles Class IIb/III implants. Lacks MDCG 2020-6 knowledge. | Specialized in Class IIb and Class III. Strategies built by former NB reviewers. |
| Clinical Endpoint Design | Struggles with operator-dependent variables and learning curves. | Endpoints explicitly mapped to General Safety and Performance Requirements (GSPRs). |
| Post-Market Approach | Treats PMCF as passive Phase IV surveillance. | Designs proactive, registry-based PMCF studies required by Annex XIV Part B. |
| Data Management (EDC) | Uses heavy, expensive legacy systems built for drug trials. | Utilizes MILO Health, built natively for agile medical device trials. |
Most CROs build clinical programs and adapt them to regulators. Because our team includes former Notified Body reviewers from TÜV SÜD, we know what assessors look for—and we design programs to pass scrutiny from day one.
The result is clinical evidence that withstands scrutiny because it was designed by people who once performed that scrutiny professionally.
Founded Eclevar MedTech to bring the regulatory perspective inside the CRO model — eliminating the gap between what manufacturers submit and what assessors expect.
Former Senior Reviewer at TÜV SÜD. Expert in Class IIb and III implantable device clinical evidence and Annex XIV compliance.
Generic CRO experience is not sufficient. Each therapeutic area has specific Notified Body expectations. Our teams are structured by vertical.
From complex TAVI pivotal programs to IIS conversion. We design clinical evidence strategies aligned with current Notified Body expectations for Class III structural heart devices.
