A webinar on the latest FDA proposed changes to the process
NOTE: This webinar can only be viewed at the designated time/place and cannot be broadcasted to individual workstations.
Overview: A 510(k) is a premarket submission made to FDA to demonstrate that your device to be marketed is at least as safe and effective, that is, substantially equivalent, to a legally marketed device that is not subject to PMA.
There are three types of Premarket Notification 510(k)s that may be submitted to FDA: Traditional, Special, and Abbreviated. The Special and Abbreviated 510(k) methods were developed under the "New 510(k) Paradigm" to help streamline the 510(k) review process. Product modifications that could significantly affect safety and effectiveness are subject to 510(k) submission requirements under 21 CFR 807 as well as design control requirements under the Quality System (QS) regulation. Under the QS regulation, all Class II and III devices and certain Class I devices are required to be designed in conformance to 21 CFR 820.30 Design Controls. FDA provides guidance and this course will address key resources when making critical decisions.
Objectives:
Who will benefit: This course is appropriate to those involved in all aspects of the premarket notification, i.e., 510(k) process on behalf of medical device and In Vitro Diagnostic manufacturers. It is both a primer for personnel new to the FDA 510(k) process, or an excellent refresher course for those who need to revisit the basics and fundamentals for a better understanding on how to prepare and submit your application to ensure regulatory and compliance success.
Those who will benefit include:
