Webinar Includes : All the training handouts , certificate ,Q/A and 90 mins Live Webinar

Training Overview 

FDA’s Plan for Modernizing webinar will consider the steps the FDA has been taken to provide different and more efficient pathways for novel technologies to receive FDA clearance or approval, e.g., the Medical Device Safety Action Plan, and recent updates to modernize and enhance the 510(k) and De Novo review processes. 

In addition the Agency has further announced two additional device programs:

1) Finalising guidance on the existing Breakthrough Device Program; and

2) Plans for a new Safer Technologies Program (STeP). Each addresses one of the two existing pathways , 510(k) and PMA, to address what the FDA calls "breakthrough technologies" using less restrictive submission requirements / pathways. Such approaches require a rethinking of submission strategies on the part of industry, to benefit from the FDA's changed thinking.
