    Benchmark Drift: Why Acceptance Criteria Age (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    Hey friend,One unchanged acceptance criterion can stall your renewal.That sounds unfair at first.Your device has not changed. Manufacturing is steady. The complaint rate is flat. The acceptance criteria sailed through review five years ago.Then the questions arrive.Picture the team opening that email. A PDF is attached. Someone reads the question twice. Around the table, the first reaction is confusion: how can a threshold that was accepted before suddenly become a problem now?That moment carrie

    Read excerpt

A quality colleague searches old approvals. Suddenl

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Hey dear,Four words can give a device team dangerous relief: no clinical data necessary.The mood in a team changes when it reaches that conclusion. Shoulders drop. The pressure seems to lift. For a moment, it feels as if one difficult part of the MDR has disappeared.I understand that feeling.And this is the part that still bothers me: the relief arrives too early.Article 61(10) covers devices for which clinical investigations or clinical data are not deemed necessary. That can sound like an exem
