The Complexity of New Technologies • Devices are getting smaller • Miniaturization, New Materials, Nanotechnology • Devices are getting smarter and are providing more information • Intelligent Devices • Biotechnology Revolution • Personalized Medicine • Combination Products • Information-Rich Therapeutics
The Complexity of New Technologies • Devices are becoming more convenient for the patient • Home Use • Minimally Invasive • Point of Care Diagnostics • Devices are responding to heighten homeland security • Bioterrorism-Related Devices • Devices are meeting the needs for special populations
Technology and InnovationFDA Role Establish reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of medical devices marketed in the U.S.
Technology and InnovationCDRH Challenges • Effectively Managing a Changing Workload • Increasing number of expedited submissions, combinations products and submissions with clinical data • New Kinds of Scientific Expertise • Meeting MDUFMA Commitments • Performance goals • Third-party inspections • Establishing a Premarket/Postmarket Balance • Greater degree of scrutiny
Medical Device Program CDRH: Types and Numbers of Submissions Received * The majority of PMAs and 510(k) applications are subject to fees. Exceptions include small business and pediatric applications.
These are the issues that we face everyday… Implementation of the Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act of 2002… … a complex and comprehensive set of review goals, becoming more aggressive each year.
The number of expeditedsubmissions is growing…. … shortening timeframes and bringing increasingly complex scientific questions… The number of combination products is growing… … necessitating new kinds of technical expertise and new regulatory paradigms
The complexity and need for clinical data is growing… Embolic protection devices Daily wear contact lenses Vascular anastomosis devices for CABG CPAP devices for apnea … requiring more in-depth review, including occasional Panel input Barbed sutures Glaucoma shunts Image-guided bronchoscopes
BioterrorismEmergency Measures • Emergency Preparedness - Medical device emergency shortages database • Bioterrorism Diagnostics and Testing - QuickELISA Anthrax-Pa Kit, the first rapid serum antibody test for anthrax • ASTM F2401-04 - “Standard Practice for Security Checkpoint Metal Detector Screening of Persons with Medical Devices”
Meeting the Challenges of Technology and Innovation Strategic planning helps us achieve our goals and establish a vision for the future • Meeting MDUFMA Goals • Strengthening our workforce for the 21st century • Enhancing our knowledge management • Achieving a better pre/postmarket regulatory balance
