Research on Investigational Medical Devices in Switzerland: Legal Insights and EU-MDR Context

Switzerland’s regulatory framework for clinical investigations with medical devices, including investigational devices like experimental MR-pulse sequences and non-CE-marked RF coils, is governed by the Ordinance on Clinical Trials with Medical Devices (ClinO-MD). This aligns with the Swiss Human Research Act (HRA) and is influenced by the European Union’s Medical Device Regulation (EU-MDR) to ensure harmonized… Continue reading Research on Investigational Medical Devices in Switzerland: Legal Insights and EU-MDR Context

Ethics proposal — The Clinical Investigation Plan (CIP)

Introduction Navigating the bureaucracy behind clinical trials in Switzerland is no small feat. As a researcher preparing the SIGNATURES2023 study, I quickly found that working with both the local Cantonal Ethics Commission (CEC) and Swissmedic / EMA — two independent bodies with their own rules and regulations — requires a level of coordination and compliance that… Continue reading Ethics proposal — The Clinical Investigation Plan (CIP)

Lead EC: General and main site’s documents

Essential BASEC Documents for Ultra-High Field MR Projects Discover the key documents required for submitting an in vivo MR project to BASEC/your local EU-CA/[your local EU-CA/ethics committee], focusing on investigations using non-CE-marked RF coils and pulse sequences, not necessarily, at ultra-high field strengths. In the Table below you find all the documents uploaded to BASEC… Continue reading Lead EC: General and main site’s documents

Case Report Forms (CRFs)

Introduction Case Report Forms (CRFs) are standardized documents used to systematically collect and record data during clinical investigations, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and completeness in documenting research outcomes. They are critical for capturing patient demographics, medical history, investigational procedures, adverse events, and study outcomes in alignment with the study protocol. CRFs are required by regulatory bodies,… Continue reading Case Report Forms (CRFs)
