Recommendations on medical devices
The CNEDiMTS recommendations are nonbinding and do not predict the Ministers decisions in terms of reimbursement.
A recommendation generally includes :
- an evaluation of the Actual Clinical Benefit (ACB) to ensure legitimate listing of a medical device,
- a comparison of the medical device ACB with the reference therapeutic strategy,
- an evaluation of the Clinical Added Value (CAV) provided by a medical device in relation to it(s) comparator(s),
- a re-evaluation of the medical device CAV for registration renewal.
All CNEDiMTS recommendations on medical devices are written in French (official language). Some of them are translated in English.
