1 FDA Mission “The FDA is responsible for protecting the public health by assuring the safety, efficacy and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, medical devices, our nations' food supply, cosmetics, and products that emit radiation. The FDA is also responsible for advancing the public health by helping to speed innovations that make medicines and foods more effective, safer and more affordable; and helping the public get the accurate, science-based information they need to use medicines and foods to improve their health.”

7 Device Basics Establishment Listing Device Listing 510(k) PMA Quality System Labeling Requirements Medical Device Reporting

8 Definition of Medical Device An “instrument, apparatus, implement, machine, contrivance, implant, in vivo reagent…including any component, part or accessory” WHICH IS intended for use in the diagnosis or treatment of a disease or condition OR Intended to affect the structure or function of the body AND

9 Definition of Medical Device Which does not achieve any of its primary intended purposes through chemical action within the body AND Which is not dependent on being metabolized for the achievement of any of its primary intended purposes

10 Device Classification Completed in 1970’s through FDA rulemaking with input from advisory panels Classification lists are in 21 CFR Part 800 Medical Device Classification CLASS ICLASS IICLASS III Low RiskModerate RiskHigh Risk General Controls Special ControlsPMA

11 Medical Devices Licensed as Biologics or by Drug Center Some devices proceed through different pathways and are reviewed by CBER not CDRH Generally in vitro diagnostic devices used to test blood supply; some cell and tissue products [test kits to test for blood type or HIV] Devices for blood collection Devices that are considered biologics

12 Combination Products Need to determine which product application to submit and which FDA center will have primary review responsibility Decision based on primary mode of action Addressed in FDA Intercenter Agreements Sponsor may submit a “Request for Designation” FDA Office of Combination Products established in December 2002 Examples: drug-eluting coronary stent or antibiotic bone cement

13 Paths to Market Class I devices generally exempt from pre-market clearance by FDA 510(K) clearance from FDA – show that class II device you want to market is “substantially equivalent” to another marketed device. SE comparison based on intended use, materials, performance. PMA (Pre-Market Approval application) approved by FDA – show that class III device has reasonable assurance of safety & efficacy. Requires clinical testing data from humans.
