Clinical Evaluation Report (CER) Services for Medical Devices

Bioexcel provides EU MDR–compliant Clinical Evaluation Report (CER) services to support CE marking and lifecycle compliance for medical devices. Our CERs are prepared in alignment with MDR Annex XIV, MEDDEV legacy principles, and current Notified Body expectations.

What Is a Clinical Evaluation Report (CER)

  • State-of-the-art (SoTA) analysis
  • Clinical data appraisal & weighting
  • Equivalence assessment (technical, biological, clinical)
  • Benefit-risk analysis
  • MDR Annex XIV–compliant CER drafting
  • CER updates & remediation for NB findings

EU MDR & Regulatory Alignment
