CBER CBER 510(k) Issues Sheryl A. Kochman, MT(ASCP) Chief, Devices Review Branch DBA/OBRR/CBER IVD Roundtable – OIVD Workshop April 23, 2003
CBER Why does CBER review devices? l Jurisdiction for medical device review is governed by the FDA Intercenter Agreement between the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) and the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) (October 31, 1991) Available at:
CBER Intercenter Agreement Between CBER and CDRH (October 31, 1991) l CBER will have the lead responsibility for regulating medical devices used or indicated for the collection, processing, testing, storage, or administration of biological products (including blood products, blood components, or analogous products), and will use authorities under the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act) and the FD&C Act, as well as any other authorities delegated to it, as appropriate.
CBER Intercenter Agreement (cont) In vitro tests which are required for blood donor screening and related blood banking practices (such as donor re-entry) are licensed under the PHS Act t Immunohematology Reagents Blood Grouping Reagents Reagent Red Blood Cells Antihuman Globulins t Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) t Blood Borne pathogen tests* HIV 1/2 HIV Ag HBsAg HB core HCV HTLV I/II * examples only, not a complete list
CBER Intercenter Agreement (cont) l CBER also has the responsibility for regulating all in vitro diagnostic tests and any other medical devices intended for use for human immunodeficiency virus, type 1 (HIV 1) and type 2 (HIV 2) and other retroviruses. l These devices, including but not limited to collection devices, specimen containers, test kit components or support materials and those used or indicated for the inactivation of these viruses, will be regulated by CBER under the Medical Device Authorities (MDA).
CBER What devices does CBER review ?* l Medical devices that are dedicated systems intended for use in collection, processing, or administration of a licensed biological or analogous product t Includes Apheresis machines Blood Warmers Filters Plasma Thawers Refrigerators Stem Cell Concentrator t Excludes Administration sets Therapeutic devices sDialysis machines sIntraoperative blood salvage devices * As stated in the Intercenter Agreement
CBER Devices Reviewed at CBER (cont)* Certain In Vitro Reagents l Those intended for use in the processing of licensed biologicals and analogous products t Lectins t Protectins Bovine albumin potentiating media l Leukocyte typing sera or other medical devices intended for use in the determination of tissue type l Quality assurance reagents intended for use in conjunction with a licensed biological reagents or in vitro tests
CBER Devices Reviewed at CBER (cont)* l Medical devices other than reagents intended for use in the preparation of, in conjunction with, or for the quality assurance of a blood bank related licensed biological product or practice. t Clinical laboratory devices with separate blood bank claims t Software programs for data management in a blood establishment t Dosimeters and thermal indicators t Microwave ovens used for thawing blood products
CBER Devices Reviewed at CBER (cont) l See also t 21 CFR through t List of Devices Regulated by CBER KSS/Blood Banking supplies consists of a wide variety of devices, some of which are: Blood temperature indicator Tube stripper Isotonic saline labeled for BB use Blood irradiation label Blood component separator
CBER Devices Reviewed at CBER (cont) ZZZ/Unclassified was used for devices for which a firm could identify a predicate, and therefore could submit a 510(k) but which had not been formally classified. This group also contains a wide variety of devices, such as: HLA reagents CMV test kits Instrument software Syphilis tests Platelet antigen/antibody tests Leukocyte removal filters
CBER What kinds of premarket device submissions does CBER review ? l Everything that CDRH does t But fewer of them l INDs and BLAs
CBER Special Situations for IVDs* l For diagnostic use only (except HIV and retroviruses), CDRH regulates under MDA t HIV and other retrovirus diagnostics regulated by CBER under MDA l For blood donor screening, CBER regulates under MDA, i.e., 510(k) t CMV * As stated in the Intercenter Agreement
CBER Special Situations for IVDs (cont)* l For diagnostic use AND blood donor screening, CDRH is lead Center with each center reviewing their respective data sets under MDA t CMV l Required for use in blood donor testing, CBER regulates under the PHS Act t Blood borne pathogen tests (IND/BLA) Syphilis is an exception (reviewed under 510(k)) t Immunohematology reagents (BLA)
CBER What are some of the public health issues that are unique to CBER ? l Ensuring safety and efficacy of biological therapeutic products l Management of those products t Recalls l Management of donors t Temporary deferral and subsequent re-entry t Permanent deferral t Counseling l Rapid response to emerging infectious agents t TSEs t West Nile Virus t SARS
CBER What are some of the outside groups CBER deals with ? l Significant outside interactions with: t Blood Products Advisory Committee t Advisory Committee on Blood Safety and Availability t PHS Blood FDA, CDC, NIH, DOD t Congress t Public perception of blood safety t Patient advocacy groups
CBER Scope of the Blood Industry Whole Blood l 13.9 million units collected/yr l 18 million components l 8 million donors l 3000 registered facilities l 3.5 million recipients Source Plasma l 12 million units collected/yr l Manufactured into 35 different plasma derivative products l 1 million donors l 80 licensed establishments
CBER What are some of the review issues that are important to CBER ? Detection and identification of disease in a population of “normal, healthy adults” Versus Diagnosis of disease in a patient showing signs and symptoms of disease Requires higher numbers of clinical trial samples to assure statistical significance
CBER What are some of the review issues that are important to CBER ? l Many of our products are Combination Products because they are linked by their labeling, i.e., a system t Licensed reagent(s) (biologicals) t Accessory reagents (devices) t Accessory instruments (devices) t Accessory software (devices) t Ancillary goods (devices) Pipettes Tubes Micro-well plates l Others are combination products because of their packaging t Therapeutic biological in a syringe
CBER What are some of the procedural issues that are different at CBER ? l We currently do not respond by to incoming s that contain proprietary or confidential information but are working on a secure system to allow us to do so. l We have different submission binding and filing formats. t Please see SOPPs 8007 and 8110 at: t l We have a different address: FDA/CBER Document Control Center, HFM-99, Suite 200N 1401 Rockville Pike Rockville, MD l We usually need more than one copy; please send at least two or call ahead and ask.
CBER Recent CBER Process Changes (To Enhance the Review Process) l New priority courier service for regulatory documents l New bar-coded tracking of regulatory documents l Close collaboration with CDRH l Least Burdensome training l Active problem solving during first cycle, not just problem finding l Down delegation to Division Directors
CBER Recent CBER Process Changes (cont) l Where possible, use CDRH policies l Set internal goals in parallel with CDRH t ex. 60 day response for 510(k) IVD submissions l Increased pre-submission meetings l Device subcommittee of RMCC
CBER Is everything unique or different at CBER ? l ABSOLUTELY NOT ! l We are subject to the same Congressional mandates as CDRH t FDAMA t MDUFMA l We support the use of pre-submittal (Pre-IDE) meetings t CBER SOPP l We utilize: Standards & guidances t Scientific workshops t Advisory committee recommendations
CBER How Do I Find a Predicate ? l Go to CBER’s web site for list of cleared devices 1 st t 510(k) Blood Establishment Computer Software t Substantially Equivalent 510(k) Device Information t 510(k) Device Applications (Cleared Since 1996) l If you can’t find one on ours, try CDRH’s website
