Medical Device Enforcement: Latest Developments from the FDA, DOJ and FTC – Webinar Recording/Transcript
Product Details
With the recent passing of the Food and Drug Omnibus Reform Act (FDORA) and other guidance and policy updates in medical device development, knowing and understanding all the new rules is crucial. And the FDA isn’t the only agency you have to worry about: the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) also play a part in enforcing new medical device rules.
This presentation, led by former FDA/DOJ officials, covers all the bases, giving you the information you need to avoid trouble from any of the three agencies.
Anne Walsh, director of Hyman, Phelps & McNamara, is a 25-year veteran of the pharmaceutical and medical device industries and has served as associate chief counsel with the FDA’s Office of Chief Counsel. She explains everything you need to know about FDA inspections, warning letters and recalls, as well as how to defend against DOJ prosecutions.
John Claud, counsel at Hyman, Phelps & McNamara, is a 15-year veteran of the DOJ. He has prosecuted and supervised complex criminal and civil trial litigation and investigations under the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, Federal Trade Commission Act, Consumer Product Safety Act and federal data privacy laws.
You will come away with a greater understanding of FDORA’s implications, as well as recently finalized guidance on delaying, denying, limiting or refusing an inspection, and the DOJ’s revised Corporate Enforcement Policy, which altered the way the agency reviews corporate criminal prosecution decisions.
