An Introduction to Medical Device Clinical Trials [Video]

Medical device clinical trials generate evidence on a device’s performance, safety, and intended clinical benefit in people. This video explains why device studies often need a different planning approach from drug trials, including how intended use, classification, evidence claims, usability, and device accountability shape the study design.

WHAT THIS VIDEO COVERS
• How device type and intended use influence evidence planning
• Why evidence claims affect endpoints, follow-up, sites, and oversight
• How controlled device refinements create traceability requirements
• Why feasibility work can reveal training, procedure, or data capture issues
• How classification and risk influence scrutiny, evidence expectations, and follow-up
• Why device accountability matters for safety review, data interpretation, and inspection readiness

Medical device trials work best when the design reflects how the device will actually be used. Clear endpoints, proportionate oversight, reliable traceability, and careful site execution all help the evidence remain credible throughout the study.
