WHEN IT APPLIES

Benefit-risk determination weighs clinical benefits against residual risks and uncertainties. It is central to FDA PMA/De Novo decisions and EU MDR GSPR/clinical evaluation conclusions.

PROCESS / STEPS

  1. Quantify benefits (clinical outcomes, claims) with appropriate evidence.
  2. Characterize residual risks after mitigations and probability/severity.
  3. Address uncertainty, alternatives, and state of the art.
  4. Document decision logic for regulators and update with PMS data.

EXAMPLES

  • A high-risk implant may be favorable if life-saving benefit outweighs known complication rates with informed consent and monitoring.
