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 The A-list draft guidance topics that CDRH plans to publish include premarket submissions for cybersecurity; labeling recommendations for surgical staplers and staples; nonbinding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
