Developing core claims to comply with MDR requirements

Background

A global leader in acute care aerosol drug delivery approached Elion Medical Communications to develop clinical core claims to support their European Medical Device Regulation (MDR) submission.

The MDR replaces the previous Medical Device Directive and establishes a new legal framework for medical devices in the EU. All manufacturers must now comply with MDR requirements to maintain market access in the EU.

The client required a set of MDR-compliant clinical core claims to include in their Clinical Evaluation Report (CER). As their trusted medical writing partner for over 5 years, Elion was engaged to support the marketing, medical affairs and regulatory teams in the development of these core claims.

The Brief

Our role was to work closely with the client’s cross-functional teams – marketing, medical affairs and regulatory – to develop a set of clinically robust, MDR-compliant core claims within a tight timeframe. We were guided by a detailed brief outlining the CER context, clinical messaging priorities and supporting evidence.

Our Solution

This project was a collaborative effort with multiple stakeholders contributing to the development of the core claims. We used digital collaboration tools to implement feedback provided in real time together with regular calls to discuss queries and refine the language of the claims to ensure alignment with the broader submission strategy. The result was a cohesive set of MDR-ready clinical core claims, grounded in evidence and ready for inclusion in the CER.
