What is medical writing?
Medical writing plays a crucial role in creating high-quality regulatory and clinical documents in the IVD industry. With global regulations like the FDA’s Code of Federal Regulations, the EU’s IVDR, ICH-GCP guidelines, and ISO standards, manufacturers must meet a complex set of requirements.
These regulations ensure companies maintain robust quality management systems and generate precise, well-documented clinical evidence, ultimately protecting patient safety, proving product efficacy, and helping products successfully reach the market.
At QbD Group, our expertise and years of experience enable us to create documentation that meets the strictest regulatory standards, ensuring your products get to market smoothly and efficiently.
Why is medical writing important?
- Regulatory compliance: ensures product safety and efficacy, avoids delays, and prevents non-compliance.
- Clinical performance studies: guides study execution, supports regulatory submissions, and enhances regulatory approval.
- Business impact: influences market access, revenue, and patient benefit.
- Risk mitigation: minimizes risks, reduces adverse events, and prevents product recalls.
- Science communication: communicates complex scientific data clearly and effectively to diverse audiences.
- Evidence-based decision-making: provides evidence to support product claims, influences regulatory decisions, and guides post-market surveillance.

We have a class A IVD, do we still require all clinical evidence documentation?
Do I need to monitor the safety and performance of my legacy device on the market in the EU?
Yes, during the transitional period, manufacturers of legacy devices need to set up a PMS system compliant to the IVDR requirements. Some aspects might not be applicable, such as the SSP. While a PSUR is not required, a PMS report is applicable to all legacy devices. Furthermore, the PMPF requirements also apply to legacy devices. The IVDR PMS requirements apply from May 26, 2022.
