This course provides an overview of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) regulatory authority over medical devices and discusses key amendments to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act which govern the approval pathways of medical devices in the U.S.
The presenter explains the system for classification of medical devices in detail, with examples of types of medical devices in each class. Learners will gain an understanding of the three common pathways used by FDA to market safe medical devices, including no premarket evaluation, premarket notification (510(k)), and premarket approval processes. The course covers requirements of the Code of Federal Regulations, as well as general and special regulatory controls for each class of medical devices.
Other topics covered by this course include considerations for predicate devices and substantial equivalence, requirements for a 510(k) application and summary of content per 21 CFR §807.92, applicable regulatory controls that apply to Class III medical devices, and requirements for a Premarket Approval Application (PMA) per 21 CFR §814. This course also describes types of changes that impact filings and information required by FDA when changes are made to a premarket notification (510(k)) application per 21 CFR §807.81, and to a Premarket Approval Application, per 21 CFR §814.39.
