Medical Device Risk Classes
•
General Controls (all classes):
– Establishment Registration & Device Listing (21 CFR 807, Subpart B)
– Quality System Regulation (21 CFR 820)
• Most Class I devices exempt from Design Control (21 CFR 820.30)
– Postmarket Medical Device Reporting (21 CFR 803)
– Premarket Notification (21 CFR 807 , Subpart E)
• Most Class I devices exempt from premarket notification
– Labeling (21 CFR 801)
•
Special Controls (Class II & III):
– Product-specific FDA guidance documents and/or recognized standards
– Premarket clinical studies
– Postmarket clinical studies/registries
15 May 2014
Classification Framework
• Classification based upon Intended Use
– Purpose for which the device is to be used
– Objective intent of the persons marketing the device
– vs. Indications for Use
• By default, medical devices are Class III, however:
– FDA may issue classification regulations
– Regulations indicate class and exempt or premarket notification
status, if appropriate
– Regulations establish special controls, when appropriate
– ~1,700 device types covering 16 different medical specialties
15 May 2014
Classification Framework
• 21 CFR 860 – Medical Device Classification Procedures
• 21 CFR 862 – Clinical Chemistry & Clinical Toxicology
• 21 CFR 864 – Hematology & Pathology
• 21 CFR 866 – Immunology & Microbiology
• 21 CFR 868 – Anesthesiology
• 21 CFR 870 – Cardiology
• 21 CFR 872 – Dental
• 21 CFR 874 – Ear, Nose & Throat
• 21 CFR 876 – Gastroenterology-urology
15 May 2014
Classification Framework
• 21 CFR 878 – General & Plastic surgery
• 21 CFR 880 – General Hospital & Personal Use
• 21 CFR 882 – Neurological
• 21 CFR 884 – Obstetrical & Gynecological
• 21 CFR 886 – Ophthalmic
• 21 CFR 888 – Orthopedic
• 21 CFR 890 – Physical Medicine
• 21 CFR 892 – Radiology
15 May 2014
Classification Framework
15 May 2014
Classification Framework
• FDA Product Codes
– No established legislative or regulatory authority
– Define specific device types within a classification regulation
15 May 2014
Exempt from Premarket Notification
• Most Class I devices and some Class II devices are exempt from
premarket notification requirements (i.e., 510(k))
– As established by classification regulations
• “.9 exceptions”
– Each classification regulation includes a general requirement
that a device is exempt from premarket notification regulations
only if there is already a similar device on the market with the
same intended use and fundamental scientific technology
• Limitations of exemptions from section 510(k) of the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
– If not, manufacturer must still submit a 510(k) for the device
15 May 2014
Request for Classification – 513(g)
• If there is uncertainty regarding the classification of a medical
device, manufacturers can submit a Request for Classification
under 513(g)
• Subject to user fees ($3,490 for FY2014)
• Contents:
– Cover letter
– Description of the device
– Description of what device is to be used for
– Proposed labeling (yours and similar, legally marketed device)
• Guidance: FDA and Industry Procedures for Section 513(g)
Requests for Information under the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (2012)
15 May 2014
Premarket Notification – 510(k)
• Comparison to predicate device to determine if they are
substantially equivalent
– 510(k) is “cleared” rather “approved”
• Substantial equivalence:
– Same intended use as predicate device
– Either same technological characteristics as predicate or
different technological characteristics but not raise new
questions of safety or effectiveness
• Predicate device:
– Legally marketed Class I or Class II device
– Class III device for which FDA has not yet required premarket
approval (PMA)
15 May 2014
Premarket Notification – 510(k)
• If FDA determines not substantially equivalent (NSE):
– Resubmit 510(k) with new data
– Request Class I or Class II designation via de novo pathway
– File reclassification petition
– Submit a premarket approval (PMA) application
15 May 2014
Identification of a Predicate Device
• Product Lifecycle database:
– Cleared 510(k)s (or PMAs)
– Adverse events
– Recalls
15 May 2014
Identification of a Predicate Device
• Published 510(k) summaries
15 May 2014
Identification of a Predicate Device
• Competitor marketing materials

Notifications (1998)

510(k) Tips
• More than just gathering engineering and marketing information
– Tell the “story”
• Work with engineering and marketing
– How do you want to market the device?
• Clearly state intended use and indications
• Address differences between your device and predicate
• Implement thorough QC process
– RTA checklist
