Description of the topic :

In 2010, FDA issued a report on the changes it plans to make to the 510(k) process to address regulatory, industry, and consumer concerns and 2011 and 2012 have been marked by the agency’s progress in implementation of these changes. In the past year, the agency published a draft guidance document that revises and clarifies the agency’s longstanding policies regarding when a new 510(k) submission will be required for changes being made to an existing device and another draft guidance document which creates a second alternate de novo pathway for devices found to be not substantially equivalent (NSE) at the end of the 510(k) process.

FDA has also issued a draft guidance document which would change and clarify other aspects of the agency’s 510(k) program in an attempt to foster more consistency across 510(k) reviews, coupled with training and certification for FDA device reviewers. Other 510(k)-related guidance documents have issued as well.

Who will benefit:

Representatives of manufacturers and marketers of 510(k) medical devices, including in-house counsel, outside FDA counsel, regulatory affairs personnel, and regulatory consultants.
