Description
Want to keep your medical device company ahead of the curve? Concerned about rumors of major changes in the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH)? Need to know the details of dramatic changes in FDA device approval and regulation policy? Join us for an advance look at the soon to be announced major changes in CDRH. You'll hear the latest inside information about organizational changes, shifts in 510(k) submission requirements; redefinition of "predicate devices" and FDA plans for reviewing grandfathered devices.

If you're designing, manufacturing, selling, or using a regulated medical device this program is an advanced look at the information you need to have.

The program includes:
  • Major CDRH corruption charges
  • Changes in the use of the 510(k) and 513 designations 
  • New requirements for providing device safety and efficacy
  • Changes in "predicate device" interpretations
  • Requirements for "grandfathered" devices
