One of the characteristic features of a medical device clinical trial is its proper documentation. Legal and normative requirements regarding clinical trial documentation are laid out in Regulation no. 2017/745 and the ISO 14155:2022 standard. Clinical trial documentation may be divided into 3 main categories:

  1. documentation drafted prior to clinical trial commencement,
  2. documentation drafted during clinical trial conduct,
  3. documentation drafted following clinical trial completion or termination.

Clinical trial documentation, including medical records, requires authors to have a good grasp of medical terminology and knowledge of terms related to the diagnostic or therapeutic area, as well as being familiar with documentation structure. Drafting medical reports includes preparation of scientific documents, including those related to trials already completed or regulatory documents.
