CDRH: Minimizing Risk of TSE Agents in Medical Devices CDR Martha O’Lone, RN, BSN CDRH TSE Working Group Chair Infection Control Devices Branch DAGID / ODE / FDA
Center for Devices and Radiological Health * Ensure medical device safety and effectiveness * Reduce unnecessary exposure to radiation from medical, occupational and consumer products
Objective • Overview of CDRH Measures to Minimize Risk of TSE Agents in Medical Devices • Implanted Medical Devices • Neurological Devices/General Surgical Instruments • In Vitro Diagnostic Devices
CDRH Procedures/Approach • Premarket review: 510(k), IDE, PMA • Postmarket surveillance • Scientific Research • Field Inspections • Communicate with industry, health professionals, consumers and foreign governments through letters, guidances and public meetings
Implanted Medical Devices Implants: devices with human/bovine tissue Human- cellular wound dressings, human dura mater, bone void fillers, human collagen Animal- absorbable hemostatic agents, dura substitutes, pericardial valves, collagen implants
Minimizing TSE Risk for Implanted Medical Devices • Premarket review Source, Manufacture, Sterilization • Guidance • Human (CBER and CDRH) • Animal (CDRH) General/Specific • Postmarket Surveillance • Inspections
Minimizing TSE Risk for Neurological-General Surgical Medical Devices Examples: Neurological medical devices (cranial drill bits) General Surgical instruments (scalpels, scissors, biopsy forceps, retractors)
Approaches Used to Minimize TSE Risk for Medical Devices • Premarket review • Guidance-1996 Labeling for Reuse, • Work with CDC- to develop recommendations • Research- Decontamination of medical devices exposed to TSE CBER/CDRH
In Vitro Diagnostic Devices • Future-Tests to aid in diagnosis of a patient with variant CJD or infected and at risk for developing CJD • For further questions contact the CDRH Office of In Vitro Diagnostics: Sally Hojvat, Director of the Division of Microbiology Devices: 301-594-2096
Conclusions • CDRH has taken action to minimize risk of TSE transmission in medical devices in the following areas: • Premarket review: 510(k), IDE, PMA • Postmarket surveillance • Scientific Research • Field Inspections • Communicating with industry, health professionals, consumers and foreign governments through letters, guidances and public meetings
