In the past, this led to <strong>differing requirements from notified bodies<\/strong> and <strong>uncertainty on the manufacturers&#8217; side<\/strong>. ISO 18969 Clinical evaluation of medical devices is intended to change this.<\/p>\n<p>It has now reached the <strong>public consultation phase<\/strong>. This will be followed by the processing of the comments. Publication is expected <strong>at the end of next year at the earliest<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>A key point in the standard will be the <strong>more direct link to risk management<\/strong>. The new standard is also intended to set decision criteria for the <strong>proportionality of clinical data<\/strong> in demonstrating a positive benefit-risk ratio: the quantity, type and quality of clinical data should be <strong>proportionate to the risk, the complexity of the device and the clinical benefit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"last-child\">Follow the progress up to publication at <a
