Understanding safety and performance requirements for medical device submissions
Download this whitepaper by James Pink from Element RegNav, discussing the process to bring medical technologies to market, the regulatory pathways for the FDA (e.g., 510(k)), and how to work smarter to keep on top of the legislation surrounding conformity and streamline evidence collection for assessment activities.
Irrespective of the regulatory pathway that is applicable to your product, you will have to demonstrate that your product has valid scientific evidence of adequate safety, performance and efficacy throughout the lifecycle of the product. Failure to provide this information is a common reason for delays and rejection of regulatory documentation by FDA and EU Notified Bodies. This frequently leads to increasing costs and failure to obtain market access of a device that may have a positive health outcome and better safety profile.
Therefore, taking time to evaluate regulatory pathways early in the development of a product will mean that you better understand evidence requirements and minimise the likelihood of material issues arising during regulatory approval processes.
