Course Description

The FDA's device regulation has begun to make your regulatory life easier. Can you qualify for an easier way of life under FDA regulation? Getting to market with a new device could be totally under your control and keep FDA out the premarket hurdle. On the other hand, the EU's new Medical Device Regulation (MDR) will make it more difficult. How can you prepare for that? What does it mean for FDA's regulatory plans and your marketing roll out for new products? One disaster remains hidden and will be costly if you do not plan for it.

The new EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) affects U.S. firms that export devices to the EU. In addition, the MDR imposes many new requirements such as the mandatory renewal every 10 years of your exported device's CE mark. The CE renewal is not a rubberstamp process. It requires an assessment of performance and safety based on a ten-year look. Information before the 10 years limit is not acceptable.

Life cycle evaluation for devices will change. Post market surveillance, clinical experience reports and real-world evidence have become a critical component of EU's device program. How will this impact your regulatory compliance?

These are questions you should be able to answer to adequately your firm for 2020, not just in the U.S. but in the EU as well.

The Notified Bodies will perform very thorough inspections and make unannounced inspections. Now that they have liability for their work, they will take the extra step to make sure your manufacturing and management system are acceptable.

Finally, the Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP) is underway with the goal of making inspections of multiple regulatory bodies consolidated into one inspection, which reduces the burden of that work on manufacturers and creates greater uniformity among the participating countries.
