Joint Replacements

Total hip and knee replacement systems, including primary and revision implants.

Spinal Implants

Spinal cages, rods, pedicle screws, and complex fusion devices.

Trauma Fixation

Plates, screws, nails, and external fixation systems for fracture management.

Regenerative Implants

Bone graft substitutes, osteoinductive materials, and synthetic matrices.

The EU MDR Challenge

High-risk implants require
bulletproof evidence.

Under the European Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR), orthopedic and spinal implants face unprecedented clinical scrutiny. Legacy equivalence claims are no longer sufficient. Notified Bodies demand long-term clinical and safety data, radiographic endpoint integration, and continuous PMCF for Class IIb and Class III devices.

DATA CHALLENGE 01

Radiographic Endpoints

Demonstrating clinical safety requires more than patient surveys. Eclevar Medtech integrates standardised imaging protocols into your PMCF to track bone fusion, osteointegration, and radiolucency accurately over time.

DATA CHALLENGE 02

Long-Term Surveillance

Orthopedic and spinal implants are expected to perform for decades. We design ten to fifteen-year PMCF follow-up strategies that satisfy Notified Body expectations for survivorship tracking without overwhelming your budget.

DATA CHALLENGE 03

Legacy Data Gaps

Many legacy devices lack the structured clinical data now required by Annex XIV. Eclevar Medtech remediates historical data and designs high-quality Real-World Evidence (RWE) registries to close these gaps rapidly.

Dr. Nikhil Khadabadi

As a former assessor at TÜV SÜD, one of the most rigorous Notified Bodies in the European Union, Dr. Khadabadi has evaluated clinical evidence packages for hundreds of orthopedic and spinal implants. He understands the internal Notified Body assessment framework from the inside out.

He now leads the Orthopedics and Spine practice at Eclevar Medtech, building PMCF programs, registries, and Clinical Evaluation Reports (CER) designed to pass strict regulatory audits on the first submission. His insight ensures that orthopedic and spinal implants manufacturers navigate the complex transition to EU MDR with absolute scientific precision.

Clinical Workflow

Five steps to
EU MDR compliance

Eclevar Medtech utilises a structured and seamless delivery process that connects regulatory strategy, study operations, and digital data collection into one coordinated evidence pathway.

STEP 01

Gap Assessment

Evaluating existing clinical data and literature against EU MDR Annex XIV requirements to identify specific risks.

STEP 02

PMCF Strategy

Designing targeted clinical investigations, surveys, or registry-based PMCF plans tailored to your specific implant.

STEP 03

Data Capture

Deploying validated Electronic Data Capture systems (MILO EDC) for secure multi-site data and radiographic image collection.

STEP 04

Site Engagement

Activating our specialised network of orthopedic investigators and clinics across key European territories.

STEP 05

Regulatory Reporting

Authoring audit-ready Clinical Evaluation Reports (CER) and PMCF evaluation reports for the Notified Body.

Clinical Endpoints & RWE

Measuring what matters
in orthopedics.

01

Clinical Scores & PROMs

Implementation of validated Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) specific to joint and spine indications. This includes Oxford Hip and Knee Scores, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and Neck Disability Index (NDI) to prove objective functional improvement.

Oxford ScoresODI & NDIValidated PROMs
02

Radiographic Analysis

Standardised assessment protocols for radiographic endpoints. We facilitate tracking of implant migration, subsidence, bone fusion rates, and radiolucency with independent core lab validation to ensure objective safety data.

03

Registry Integration

Seamless Real-World Evidence (RWE) collection linked to national and European joint registries, such as the NJR and REDIT. Eclevar Medtech helps manufacturers extract and contextualise big data for legacy devices.

Long-Term Safety Surveillance

Continuous tracking of revision rates, implant survivorship via Kaplan-Meier analysis, and adverse events over a ten to fifteen-year horizon to satisfy the strict post-market requirements of the EU MDR.

Unified Data Ecosystem

Digital data collection designed
for complex devices.

Managing long-term orthopedic clinical follow-up requires a robust data infrastructure. Eclevar Medtech utilises MILO EDC, a proprietary Electronic Data Capture platform that is fully compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and GDPR. The MILO ecosystem integrates eCRF, ePRO, and secure radiographic image uploads in a single, audit-ready environment specifically designed for the medical device industry.

  • FDA 21 CFR Part 11 Compliant.
  • ISO 27001 & GDPR.
  • Secure DICOM Image Uploads.
  • Automated ePRO Surveys.
  • Registry API Integration.
