Deploy this template after design verification confirms specifications but before commercial distribution under 21 CFR 820.30(g).
This template produces evidence that your device meets user needs and intended use in real-world conditions.
Teams often invalidate their validation by skipping traceability or using non-production-equivalent devices during testing.
Template Structure
Use this medical devices template as a starting point, then customize each section to match your internal workflow, evidence, and signoff needs.
State the intended use, user groups, environments, and validation question.
Identify validated model, software, accessories, labeling, packaging, and production-equivalent status.
Map user needs and risk controls to validation activities and evidence.
Describe simulated-use, clinical, usability, or production validation methods, participants, and conditions.
Summarize pass/fail outcomes, observed use errors, adverse findings, and protocol deviations.
Assess whether results affect the risk file, IFU, training, claims, or residual risk acceptability.

State whether the device meets user needs and intended use, with required follow-up actions.
Use objective report language and trace claims to controlled records.
Confirm intended users can apply CP-2 and complete 72-hour ambulatory monitoring.
Validation used CP-2 firmware 1.3.0, label LBL-CP2-010, and IFU IFU-CP2-006.
UN-03 is supported by simulated-use study VAL-CP2-021.
18 participants applied the device without clinician assistance in a simulated home setting.
17 of 18 participants completed application on first attempt.
One observed orientation error requires an IFU image update.
CP-2 meets intended use after completion of the labeling action.
