ISO 14155:2020 Compliance Requirements
This section documents compliance with ISO 14155:2020 requirements for clinical investigations of medical devices. The table below provides a comprehensive checklist of documentation required under ISO 14155 and indicates which documents have been provided or prepared for this clinical investigation.
| Document Title | Purpose | Included | Justification if not provided |
|---|---|---|---|
| Investigator's Brochure | Provides clinical and non-clinical data on the investigational device relevant to its study in human subjects. | TRUE | |
| Clinical Investigation Plan (CIP) | Describes the rationale, objectives, design, methodology, monitoring, and conduct of the clinical investigation. | TRUE | |
| Subject Information Sheet and Informed Consent Form (ICF) | Ensures that potential study subjects are adequately informed about the investigation and provide voluntary consent. | TRUE | |

| Regulatory Authority Authorization | Authorization or notification from relevant regulatory bodies to proceed with the clinical investigation. | FALSE | No Competent Authority (CA) approval was required under Spanish law for these types of observational, non-interventional studies. ISO 14155 and MDR Annex XV compliance were considered in study design |
| Case Report Forms (CRFs) | Documents designed to record all protocol-required information to be reported to the sponsor on each trial subject. | TRUE | |
| Monitoring Plan | Describes the strategy, methods, responsibilities, and requirements for monitoring the clinical investigation. | TRUE | Described in the CIP |
| Subject Recruitment Materials | Materials used to recruit subjects, ensuring they are ethically and appropriately informed. | FALSE | ICF serving the same purpose |
| Signed Agreements | Contracts between the sponsor, investigators, and institutions detailing roles and responsibilities. | TRUE | |
| Delegation of Duties Log | Documents identifying the study-related duties and responsibilities assigned to each team member. | TRUE | Described in the CIP |
| Training Records | Evidence of training provided to the investigation team on the CIP, investigational device, and GCP principles. | TRUE | The study initiation visit was conducted to familiarize the investigators with the CIP and the medical device. Specific training materials were prepared for this session and can be made available upon formal request. |
| Investigational Device Accountability Records | Tracks the receipt, use, and disposition of the investigational device to ensure traceability. | TRUE | Given the software nature of the medical device, the research team was granted controlled access to the medical device through individualized login credentials (username and password). This ensured proper access and traceability of all usage and activities. Audit logs document all access, usage, and modifications throughout the study, demonstrating full accountability and traceability of the investigational device. |
| Subject Identification Code List | Confidential list linking subjects' codes to their identities, maintained by the investigator. | FALSE | Kept confidentially in each study centre |
| Screening and Enrollment Logs | Documents tracking the screening and enrollment status of potential and actual study subjects. | FALSE | Kept confidentially in each study centre |
| Investigational Device Dossier (IDD) | Comprehensive technical and clinical data on the investigational device, including design, manufacturing, and performance information. | FALSE | IB serving the same purpose |
| Insurance Statement | Proof of insurance coverage for participants in case of study-related injuries. | TRUE | In accordance with Article 2(2) of the MDR and ISO 14155:2020, the sponsor of the clinical investigation (AI Labs Group S.L.) maintains civil liability insurance coverage that extends to this non-interventional observational clinical investigation. The insurance documentation is available upon formal request. This insurance ensures appropriate coverage in the unlikely event of any unanticipated harm related to the research. |
| Financial Disclosure Records | Documentation of any financial interests of investigators that could affect the study's integrity. | TRUE | |
| Audit Certificates | Reports from independent audits assessing compliance with the CIP and GCP. | TRUE | An independent audit was conducted by the Biocruces Acute Hospital research coordinating team to assess compliance with the CIP, study protocols, and GCP principles. The audit team reviewed study documentation, data management systems, and adherence to the Clinical Investigation Plan. Audit findings and recommendations were documented and addressed by the study team. Audit logs and detailed audit reports are available upon formal request. |
| Final Clinical Investigation Report | A comprehensive report summarizing the clinical investigation's methodology and results. | TRUE |
