Clinical Evaluation Report (CER)

Meaning

A Clinical Evaluation Report (CER) is a mandatory technical document required for the regulatory compliance of medical devices, including sophisticated diagnostic tools and certain hormone delivery systems. This comprehensive report systematically analyzes and assesses all available clinical data pertaining to a medical device to definitively verify its safety and performance when used as intended. The CER is a living document that requires continuous updating with post-market surveillance data, ensuring ongoing adherence to rigorous regulatory standards throughout the device’s lifecycle.
