OC Reorganization • Recent OC announcement • Designed to focus attention and resources • Separate pre-market and post-market focus • Implications • More pre-market focus • Promotional review • Social media • Linkage to Case for Quality • Unclear how Caronia and 1st Amendment cases will impact CDRH labeling review
Comments from OC • Re-organization purpose • Align resources • Provide focus • Reflect priorities • Not an initiative to increase number of enforcement actions • Probable increase in labeling review • Note increased attention on international inspections and enforcement

Case for Quality • Major CDRH/OC initiative • Key aspects • Focus on improving quality • Aligning inspections with quality • Public metrics • Need industry engagement and specific actions • Linkages to inspection and enforcement processes • Part of TPLC • Multiple public meetings introducing Case for Quality
Shutdown Impact • CDRH was able to keep reviews going during shutdown • Access to user fees • Bolus of submissions “filed” same day • Need to work through the bolus • Assuming no additional shutdowns • CDRH says no measurable impact on MDUFA goals or review times • Some slowing of non-essential functions • Concern over additional sequestration and user fee trigger issues
Program Alignment Group (PAG) • Commissioner Hamburg initiative • Reassess current FDA organization • Reassess structure to look for synergies and overlaps • Potential reassessment of product centric approach • PAG members include center directors and other senior members of commissioner’s office • Results due in three months • Specialized inspectors • Technology linkages
