Summary of Safety and Clinical Performance (SSCP)
Summary of Safety and Clinical Performance (SSCP)
This template defines what to include in a Summary of Safety and Clinical Performance (SSCP) so we can publish a clear, EU MDR-aligned public summary for healthcare professionals and patients.
-
Capture device identification: trade name, manufacturer details, SRN, Basic UDI-DI, and UDI-DI
-
Document medical device nomenclature using EMDN code/description
-
State device class and MDR Annex VIII rule, plus year of first CE marking
-
Define intended purpose, indications, target population, contraindications, and limitations (from IFU)
-
Provide a comprehensive device description: operating principles, patient-contacting materials, sterilization/single-use, variants/accessories
-
Summarize residual risks/undesirable effects with quantitative rates and timepoints; include warnings/precautions
-
Record FSCA/FSN history and summarize clinical evaluation, PMCF, and PMS conclusions (incl. benefit–risk)
Your needs:
-
SSCP for medical devices
-
SSCP for medical devices for MDR compliance
-
Reduce rework, strengthen consistency, and lower audit risk across clinical and PMS inputs
Use this SSCP template when preparing the public SSCP package and maintaining it across revisions; it complements (and does not replace) the IFU and clinical documentation.
Key requirements covered include defining Basic UDI-DI (the identifier linking devices to one SSCP) and clinical risks (patient-specific undesirable effects that must be quantified).
-
Device and manufacturer identifiers, including SRN and Notified Body details
-
Intended purpose/indications/contraindications aligned to the IFU
-
Device description elements impacting safety/performance (materials, mode of action, sterilization)
-
Residual risk table with rates and timepoints, plus warnings/precautions
-
FSCA/FSN summary (or confirmation of none)
-
Clinical evidence summary: investigations, literature review, PMCF, and PMS findings
-
Benefit–risk conclusion, alternatives, and user training expectations
At Lexqara, we help compile SSCP-ready content from your CER, PMS/PMCF plans, and risk management, and we quality-check traceability and consistency.
