CDRH’s New Accreditation Scheme for Conformity Assessment: Impacts on Your Future Testing Plans and FDA Submissions – Webinar Recording/Transcript
Product Details
In September 2020 the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) launched its Accreditation Scheme for Conformity Assessment (ASCA) pilot program allowing accredited testing laboratories to assess the conformance of a device with FDA-recognized standards. Devicemakers can use testing by an ASCA-accredited laboratory to support premarket submission for any device, including device submissions for combination products
There are benefits in the pilot program — ensuring device performance and expediting the review of marketing applications — but you must know how to proceed.
Two members of King & Spalding’s FDA and Life Sciences practice — Elaine Tseng, a partner, and Quynh Hoang, a senior regulatory consultant and 24-year veteran of CDRH — will give you an overview of the ASCA pilot, show you how to conform to it and use it to your advantage.
Presentation Takeaways:
- Who may participate in the ASCA pilot
- Pros and cons of participating
- What participants can expect
- Implications of the ASCA pilot moving forward
- What information is made available on pilot participants
Understand the potential impact of the ASCA on your testing plans. Join us by registering today.
