Real‑World Evidence (RWE) for Medical Devices & IVDs
Under EU MDR and IVDR, manufacturers are increasingly expected to use real‑world data to support continuous clinical evaluation,post‑market surveillance, and benefit–risk assessment.
Bioexcel supports the planning ,collection , structuring, and interpretation of Real‑World Evidence (RWE) to strengthen lifecycle clinical evidence in a regulator‑aligned manner.
What Is Real‑World Evidence in Medical Devices?
Real‑World Evidence refers to clinical evidence derived from real‑world data (RWD) generated during routine use of a medical device or IVD outside traditional clinical trials. Under MDR and IVDR, RWE may complement: -Clinical investigations Literature‑based evidence – Post‑market surveillance and PMCF activities

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
ANSWER : RWE is not mandatory for all devices. Its use depends on device risk, novelty, and available clinical evidence.
Answer : No. Where a clinical investigation is required, RWE may only supplement, not replace, required clinical data.
Answer : Acceptable sources depend on data quality, relevance, and traceability. These must be justified in the clinical or performance evaluation.
Answer : Yes. When appropriately justified, RWE can support ongoing CER or PER updates under MDR and IVDR.
