Clinical investigation of medical devices for human subjects - Good clinical practice
Scope/Abstract
This document addresses good clinical practice for the design, conduct, recording and reporting of clinical investigations carried out in human subjects to assess the clinical performance or effectiveness and safety of medical devices.
For post-market clinical investigations, the principles set forth in this document are intended to be followed as far as relevant, considering the nature of the clinical investigation (see Annex I).
This document specifies general requirements intended to
- protect the rights, safety and well-being of human subjects,
- ensure the scientific conduct of the clinical investigation and the credibility of the clinical investigation results,
- define the responsibilities of the sponsor and principal investigator, and
- assist sponsors, investigators, ethics committees, regulatory authorities and other bodies involved in the conformity assessment of medical devices.
NOTE 1 Users of this document need to consider whether other standards and/or national requirements also apply to the investigational device(s) under consideration or the clinical investigation. If differences in requirements exist, the most stringent apply.
NOTE 2 For Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) demonstration of the analytical validity (the SaMD's output is accurate for a given input), and where appropriate, the scientific validity (the SaMD's output is associated to the intended clinical condition/physiological state), and clinical performance (the SaMD's output yields a clinically meaningful association to the target use) of the SaMD, the requirements of this document apply as far as relevant (see Reference [4]). Justifications for exemptions from this document can consider the uniqueness of indirect contact between subjects and the SaMD.
This document does not apply to in vitro diagnostic medical devices. However, there can be situations, dependent on the device and national or regional requirements, where users of this document might consider whether specific sections and/or requirements of this document could be applicable.
Extent of Recognition
Complete standard
Rationale for Recognition
The standard is consistent with FDA's good clinical practice regulations and is applicable to medical device clinical investigations conducted internationally (outside the US (OUS)) and submitted in support of a research or marketing application. Users of this standard should be aware of FDA's requirements for the acceptance of clinical data from studies conducted OUS at 21 CFR 812.28. Additionally, for medical device clinical investigations conducted in the US, the following US good clinical practice regulations apply: 21 CFR 50 - Protection of Human Subjects; 21 CFR 812 - Investigational Device Exemptions; 21 CFR 56 - Institutional Review Boards; 21 CFR 54 - Financial Disclosure by Clinical Investigators; 21 CFR 11 - Electronic Records and Signatures.
