New Adverse Event Reporting Procedures: A Devicemaker’s Guide to the IMDRF Code Transition
Product Details
Adverse events always happen in the device manufacturing process, but the way companies must report them is changing. The FDA has officially transitioned from its traditional medical device report (MDR) coding system to the newly developed International Medical Device Regulators’ Forum (IMDRF), and devicemakers in the U.S. and EU must now use this structure and the related reporting methods.
This is a big change but this FDAnews report can get you on the right track.
IMDRF’s members, medical device regulators from around the globe, built the system as a way to standardize medical device reporting and while the FDA and the EU are the first entities to implement the new coding, the intent is that the structure will be adopted globally.
New Adverse Event Reporting Procedures: A Devicemaker’s Guide to the IMDRF Code Transition will provide a detailed explanation of the new set of codes, which are organized in a tree-like hierarchy. It will show you how to adapt to the changes to the FDA’s electronic submission methods and the EU’s new reporting form. With a series of diagrams and hypothetical examples, the report will provide the details you need to successfully navigate reporting adverse events.
