Risk-adapted approaches to monitoring are required. Type A (low risk) e.g. questionnaire study, Type B (intermediate risk) e.g. study using a CE marked device, Type C (high risk) e.g. CTIMP. Each study will need a bespoke monitoring plan according to risk and resources, but for this exercise shall we restrict ourselves to these three examples?
