Medical Device Premarket Review Pathways and FDA Mechanisms for Expedited Review – Webinar Recording/Transcript
Product Details
Finding a successful premarket pathway for your medical device can bring effective, crucial treatments to patients at a quicker speed, saving lives and improving symptoms. There are multiple ways to gain a faster review — or reach a customer base within an expedited time frame — but none of them are without complexity.
Do you have a device that you’re considering pushing forward to the market at a faster than typical speed? Have you been trying to better understand the Breakthrough Designation process or the recent Safer Technologies Program for Medical Devices (STeP)? Is your team interested in learning more about 510(k), de novo or PMA pathways?
The Medical Device Premarket Review Pathways and FDA Mechanisms for Expedited Review presentation details the avenues that you can take to achieve a successful premarket review from the FDA. Legal and regulatory expert Michael Gaba will share insights into the final guidance from the FDA around the STeP program and how navigating the eligibility criteria and submission requirements differ from those necessary to obtain a Breakthrough Designation. He’ll also discuss specific questions around situations that could arise for an organization jumping into this process, like what to do with two devices that have the same intended use. Finally, he’ll share his thoughts on the current state of the Medical Coverage of Innovative Technology (MCIT) Pathway.
