Literature Search for your CER with Ed Drower
As I have performed some Literature Searches and created some CER myself, I know the difficulty and time of doing that. But I also had to audit some CER reports and I am always surprised by the way this is done. With the new Medical Device Regulation EU MDR 2017/745, you will maybe have to update your CERs so this is why I decided to focus on this topic for this episode.
To help you perform your CER if they are based on Literature Search, I asked Ed Drower, Director of Regulatory Affairs at CiteMedical Solution, to come to explain to us the best practices to look for your Literature and how can you check that they are the most relevant for your Clinical Evaluation Report.
In this episode, we will also discuss timing to perform CER and Ed will share with us what Cite Medical Solution can propose to its customers. On the links below, Ed accepted to share some examples on how to create a CER.
In case you need more information on Clinical Evaluation Reports or CER, I propose you to listen again to the Podcast episode made with Helene Quie from Qmed Consulting. This is also one of the most listened episodes.

I am missing the link in the iTunes RSS feed? There is not episode number, and it does not show yet.
Hi Harm,
Thanks for this feedback. Apparently there was an issue. I am trying to solve that with Apple.
There is an Error on the RSS feed which makes that this episode doesn’t appear. Sorry for that.
Dear Monir, thanks for all the work and effort you put your work and the podcast. I really appreciate it. A relatively new medical device supporter myself, I like your guests, the positive atmosphere and your knowledgeable questions. Thanks for the fix, once its done.
Small tip, your logo and youtube covers might need a design refresh 99designs.com..? All the best to you and your business.
Thanks Harm, I just fixed the problem so thank you for your alert and feedback.
For the logo I will work on that. It was done without support of a graphist but now maybe asking professionals can be the good time.
Thanks again for your support.
