Introduzione
Do you want to bring a medical device to the US market, but feel you are entering a jungle of regulatory processes and requirements that are difficult to navigate and understand?
These are questions that sound all too familiar:
- What is the 510(k) procedure and how is it different from a Pre-Market Application (PMA)?
- What is the Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs) and how does it affect the general and special requirements of specific classes of medical devices?
- What are the 3-letter product codes assigned to devices and what do they mean?
- What is a Q-Sub? How and when is a Q-sub useful?
Let’s start with untangling nomenclature and understanding how the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) regulates medical devices.
This workshop takes a deep dive into the fundamentals of the US FDA regulatory framework and identifies the difference in approach to EU requirements.
We will use interactive case studies to better understand the practical applications of the different possible submission pathways and processes.
We will discuss the basic expectations of the 510(k) procedure and pre-submission packets: what does and doesn’t belong in a pre-submission and what the manufacturer and FDA expectations are in a pre-submission meeting.
