Keep evidence and generated documents aligned

Understand when a source change should trigger regeneration or expert re-review.

Technical file basics

Generated documents depend on the evidence and facts available at generation time. If you replace an IFU, add new clinical data, change material information, or update a risk control, previously drafted documents may become stale.

Review stale warnings before delivery. A small source edit may not affect every document, but classification, clinical, risk, labelling, and PMS changes often have cross-document impact.

When unsure, ask your expert whether the change is editorial, evidence-bearing, or regulatory-significant. That distinction determines whether a simple note is enough or whether documents should be regenerated and reissued.
