Legal representation for clinical investigation

The safety and clinical performance of a medical device can be demonstrated through a clinical investigation (or clinical study). From Article 62 to Article 80, the Medical Devices Regulation (MDR) sets the requirements to conduct a clinical investigation.

A clinical investigation is a systemic investigation or study which involves one or more subjects, with the aim of assessing the safety or performance of a medical device. According to Art.62.2 of the MDR, non-EU sponsors who wish to conduct a clinical investigation within the EU must appoint a Legal Representative established in the European Union.
