  4. Medical Device Technology Drivers • Demographic trends • Economic trends • Technology trends

  5. Computer-related device trends • Substantial new product development 5-10 yrs • Integrated patient medical information systems • Smart cards • Computer-aided medical decisionmaking • Smart artificial organ implants • Miniaturized biosensors & sensor “fusion” • Customized microprocessor devices

  6. Homecare technology trends • Substantial new product development 5-10 yrs • Limited expectations for advanced technologies • Monitoring -- blood, urine, drug concentrations • Simplified drug delivery systems • Telemedicine • Smart devices

  7. Home Care Technologies for the 21st Century • NSF-FDA Workshop • - 150 participants • - Industry • - Academia • - Government • - Clinicians • - Providers

  8. 21st Century Home Care Technology • Prevention-oriented devices • Consumer health model • Noninvasive sensors • Smart devices • Customized products, flexible configurations • Data analysis tools for medical decisions • Electronic patient records • Wearable products • Wireless net-linked systems

  9. US Food & Drug Administration • Center for Drugs • Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition • Center for Biologics • Center for Veterinary Medicine • Center for Devices and Radiological Health • National Center for Toxicological Research • Office of Regional Affairs

  10. CDRH Focus Ensuring the safety and effectiveness of medical devices

  11. FDA’s Mandate for Regulation • Medical Device Amendments (1976) • Regulations implementing FD&C Act • - Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations • (21CFR) Parts 800 – 1299 • Safe Medical Devices Act (1990) • FDA Modernization Act (1997)

  12. What is a medical device? • Diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or • prevention of disease or condition • Affects the structure and function of the body • Does not achieve intended use through • chemical reaction • Is not metabolized

  13. Device Classification • 1700 generic types of devices • Three Classes • - Class I • - Class II • - Class III • intended use; intended user • Classification determines extent of regulatory • control

  14. Device Classification Risk Low Medium High • Class I • - General Controls • Class II • - General Controls and • Special Controls • Class III • - General Controls and • Premarket Approval

  15. Premarket approval – 510k • Marketing for first time, or significant change to • existing device • Demonstration of Substantial Equivalence (SE) to • legally marketed device in U.S. • SE means “As safe and as effective” • - engineering • - clinical outcome

  16. Premarket approval – PMA • Only applies to Class III devices • - New device • - Device found not substantially equivalent • Proof of safety and effectiveness with clinical data • Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) may be • desired or required

  17. Investigational Device Exemption • Used for clinical trials • Significant risk devices • Protection of human subjects • Allows sponsor to recoup R&D costs

  18. FDA’s Framework -- The traditional strategy • Regulatory gatekeeper • Unilateral responsibilities • Reactive orientation

  19. FDA’s Framework -- The emerging strategy • Multifaceted, information-based strategy • Collaborative multi-party harmonization • Anticipatory orientation

  20. eHealth Technology Issues • What’s a Device? • Labeling • “Smart Devices” • Tele-health • Interacting Systems of Devices • Architectural Considerations • Environmental Factors

  21. Action Groupings Regulatory mandate SIGNIFICANT POLICY REQUIREMENTS - NEW - UPDATED MINIMALISM EDUCATION INFORMATION COLLABORATIONS NO ACTION NEGLIGIBLE NEGLIGIBLE SIGNIFICANT Public health issues
