    Hi Caique

    There's really not much literature around specifically about medical device clinical evaluation and PMCF, but as a clinical evaluation is basically an applied type of a systematic review, you should look for the vast body of literature for clinical reviews and apply them (or adapt when required).

    In the specific case of appraisal, one book that I like (and one of the only ones I found specifically for appraisal) is this -Making Sense of Critical Appraisal by Olajide Ajetunmobi.

    You can find appraisal chapters in other books related to the literature review or evidence-based medicine, in particular, I would recommend the classic Users' Guides to the Medical Literature: Essentials of Evidence-Based Clinical Practice, by JAMA Evidence.
