PER (Performance Evaluation Report) – A Simple Analogy
Think of a PER like a school report card for a student (in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical
device).
🔹 Analogy:
Imagine a student (IVD device) is given various tests to check their knowledge and skills (how
accurately the IVD device detects diseases).
The PER is like the student's report card, showing how well they performed in exams
(analytical and clinical performance data).
Teachers (regulatory authorities) check if the student meets the required academic
standards (IVD device meets safety and performance criteria).
If the student is struggling in a subject, extra practice or improvements are needed
(device modifications or better testing methods).
📌 Key Point: A PER ensures that an IVD device can reliably detect or measure a medical
condition by evaluating its performance with real-world data, just like a report card evaluates a
student's academic progress. 🎓🔬
