Trend analysis

Definition

The investigation involved trend analysis of adverse event of the actual device involved in the adverse event and/or of products from the same and/or different batches/lots. It should be noted that trend analysis typically is not considered sufficient as a stand-alone method, but should be used in conjunction with other investigation methods for providing for instance complementary information.
