| Monitoring Plan | Describes the strategy, methods, responsibilities and requirements for monitoring the clinical investigation. | TRUE | Described in CIP §Monitoring plan. |
| Monitoring visit reports | Records of each monitoring visit performed, with findings, actions and follow-up. | TRUE | Monitoring-visit reports maintained by the sponsor within the Trial Master File and available on formal request. |
| Subject recruitment materials | Materials used to recruit subjects, ensuring they are ethically and appropriately informed. | FALSE | The Patient Information Sheet and Informed Consent (Annex III to the CIP) serves the same informative purpose. No additional advertising or recruitment materials were used. |
| Signed agreements | Contracts between the sponsor, investigators and institutions detailing roles and responsibilities. | TRUE | Clinical Trial Agreements between the sponsor and each participating institution are retained by the sponsor. |
| Delegation of duties log | Documents identifying the study-related duties and responsibilities assigned to each team member. | TRUE | Described in CIP §Principal Investigators and §Technical Support (Manufacturer). |
| Training records | Evidence of training provided to the investigation team on the CIP, investigational device and GCP principles. | TRUE | A study-initiation visit was conducted to familiarise the investigators with the CIP and the device. Training materials prepared for the initiation visit are retained under the sponsor's training-record procedure. |
| Investigational device accountability records | Track the receipt, use and disposition of the investigational device to ensure traceability. | TRUE | The investigational device is a software medical device; authorised users were granted controlled access via individual authenticated accounts (username and password). Access and usage are logged under the manufacturer's information-security procedure; audit logs document all access, usage and modifications during the investigation and are retained under the sponsor's records-retention procedure. |
| Subject Identification Code List | Confidential list linking subjects' codes to their identities. | Maintained at site | Maintained at each participating primary care centre under the custody of the Principal Investigator, available to the sponsor, the notified body and the competent authority on formal request, with confidentiality preserved under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Ley Orgánica 3/2018. |
