Periodic Safety Update Report (PSUR) for Medical Devices Overview
Periodic Safety Update Report (PSUR) are not only important for medicinal products but also for medical devices. As per the EU MDR/IVDR, PSUR is a report summarizing critical actions and conclusions derived from post-market surveillance data of a medical or in vitro diagnostic device (IVD). All associated preventive and corrective actions should be documented throughout the lifetime of the device, even if the product is no longer on the market.
EU MDR PSUR Requirements
The primary objective of a Periodic Safety Update Report (PSUR) for medical device is to enable manufacturers to substantiate, using verifiable evidence, the effective implementation of a Post-Market Surveillance (PMS) system. This system should utilize data to initiate proactive measures within their Quality Management System (QMS), thereby ensuring the ongoing safety, performance, and effectiveness of their medical devices. The PSUR is applicable to moderate and high-risk devices, such as Medical Device Class IIa, IIb, III, and In Vitro Diagnostic Classes C and D. It serves as a comprehensive compilation of outcomes and deductions drawn from the Post-Market Surveillance data.
PSUR Submission
The PSUR format consists of two components: the PSUR form and the PSUR report. Manufacturers are obligated to upload the PSUR report (in PDF format) for class III and implantable devices on EUDAMED. Subsequently, they will complete the PSUR form as an electronic submission in EUDAMED, following the "completeness" check.
The PSUR form includes essential administrative details and data to differentiate between various PSURs for a specific device. It will also incorporate information required for registering the PSUR in EUDAMED. The Commission will make the PSUR form available on their website at a later, yet-to-be-announced date.
