FDA’s 2019 Medical Device Regulation Agenda: Are You Prepared
The CDRH issued two lists of planned final and draft guidances for 2019 — an A-list of guidances it intends to publish and a B-list of guidance it will publish “as resources permit.”
A-list final guidance topics that CDRH plans to issue include unique device identification and compliance dates for Class I and unclassified devices. The A-list draft guidance topics that CDRH plans to publish include premarket submissions for cybersecurity; labeling recommendations for surgical staplers and staples; nonbinding feedback after FDA inspections; lifecycle regulatory requirements for medical device servicing; computer software assurance; content of premarket submissions for software contained in medical devices; and accreditation schemes for device conformity assessments.
Topics for the B-list include: testing considerations for implanted brain-computer interface devices for patients with paralysis or amputations; UDI for convenience kits; and medical x-ray imaging devices conformance with IEC standards.
Jessica Ringel — Counsel, King & Spalding, Washington, D.C. — will discuss how CDRH will prioritize digital health, advance device safety and security, offer more flexibility and options for premarket submissions, sustain high-quality servicing, provide efficient oversight, handle uncertainty in devices and engage patients. You’ll learn about:
- Recent revisions to the medical device guidance and activities required by the FDA Reauthorization Act (FDARA)
- Nuances pertaining to quality and regulatory professionals included in CDRH’s FY 2019 guidance agenda — with a recap of recently issued guidance and identification of what is ahead
- Status of the ever evolving, voluntary FDA pilot programs, including expectations for FDA’s Digital Health Software Pre-Certification Program as it enters the 2019 test stage
- Current status of FDA’s Case for Quality Voluntary Improvement Program
Understanding the FDA guidance… programs… and policies that may be on the horizon, as well as those that have been recently announced, will help you prepare for changes in regulatory policy, and utilize advantageous programs.
