6. Questions
1. Our Purpose
What Do
Potential Investors
Want to Know?
 What is your approval pathway?
 How long will it take?
 How much will it cost?
 How likely is success?
Without A Viable Strategy
for Regulatory Approval,
You Will
 Investors will dismiss you.
 FDA will be a roadblock to you.
 Employees will lose faith in you.
 Potential customers will find
someone else to meet their needs.
Today’s Objectives
Provide a basic scaffold to better
understand the regulatory realities
and options for your own situation.
Not to answer all your questions or define a
reg strategy for you. A reg strategy must be
custom-fit to your product, business plan,
customer, competitive landscape, etc.

3. Basics of Medical Device
Regulation in the US
The Law Requires
• US Medical Devices must be proven
“safe and effective” based on “valid
scientific evidence”.
• Compare to US Drugs: must be proven
“safe and effective” based on “well-
controlled clinical studies”.
• Compare to Devices in the EU: must be
proven “safe and functions as designed”.
Medical Devices are

Special Controls Include
 Independent Standards:
 ISO, ANSI, IEC, ASTM, etc.
 Horizontal Standards
 Vertical Standards
 FDA Guidance Documents
If any of these apply to your product,
use them, or be prepared to explain why not,
and what you used instead, and why.
4. How to Develop a
Successful Regulatory
Approval Strategy
At some point you should
probably talk to your
friendly neighborhood
regulatory consultant.
But you can figure out many
of the key elements yourself!
How? Ask the
Right Questions!
1. Is my product a medical device?
2. What Class is my product in?
3. What is my pathway to approval?
4. Will clinical studies be needed?
5. What are the strategic implications
of the pathway?
Is My Product a
Medical Device?
An instrument, apparatus, implement, machine, contrivance,
implant, in vitro reagent, or other similar or related article,
component, or accessory which is:
1. Intended to diagnosis disease or other conditions; or
2. Intended to cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent disease; or
3. Intended to affect the structure or any function of the body;
4. And which does not achieve any of its primary intended
purposes through chemical action,
5. And does not depend on being metabolized to achieve them.
The Border May
be Set by Claims
and Intended Use
Example: A wearable that counts footsteps or
calories, but claims no medical benefit from doing
so, is NOT a medical device.
The same product doing the same thing but with
the claim that doing so helps the user lose weight
or lower blood pressure IS a medical device.
What Class is
My Product?
• Go to FDA > Medical Devices >
Data Bases > Product Classification
(https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cf
docs/cfPCD/PCDSimpleSearch.cfm)
• Type in the name of your product.
• Review the listing.
• Iterate until you find the most accurate
description.

Example: Surgical Scissors

Is My Device a 510(k)?
Almost all Class II devices are! But how to know?
• Check out similar devices on the FDA Product
Listing page
• Find 510(k)s for similar devices at FDA >
Medical Devices > Database > 510(k)s
• Is there a device, itself under 510(k), to which
you can prove substantial equivalence (SE)?
• You can’t claim SE to a PMA device.
What Makes for SE? (1/2)
Compared to the Proposed Predicate Device:
• Same intended use and same technological
characteristics; or
• Same intended use and different technological
characteristics, but that do not raise new
questions of safety and effectiveness, with
supporting evidence that the new device is at
least as safe and effective as the predicate.
What Makes for SE? (2/2)
SE does not mean the 2 devices are
identical. SE is judged base on intended
use, design, energy used or delivered,
materials, chemical composition,
manufacturing process, performance,
safety, effectiveness, labeling,
biocompatibility, standards, etc.
SE is Kind of
a Black Art
• The closer to your proposed predicate on each
of these, the more likely you will succeed.
• But there is no hard rule, guidance!
• FDA will not tell you; you must make your case
in a 510(k) filing!
• In FDA’s response, you will know.
• One key: how far is your predicate from its?
SE
If Not 510(k), Then It’s PMA

PMAs? Check at FDA > Medical Devices >

Will I Need
Clinical Studies?
• All original PMAs need
clinical studies
• And 10% of all 510(k)s
also need clinical studies
• Conducted under IDE
• Add multiple $$Mi and
years to market!

Final Thoughts
Don’t Make These Mistakes!
 “My device has patents, so it can’t be SE”.
 Design your device, get investors, and THEN
get a regulatory strategy.
 Use mfgs inexperienced with FDA.
 Plan for a large % of your sales to be off-label.
 Hide from FDA until you file your submission.
 “I paid the filing fee; FDA owes me approval!”
 Expect FDA to tell you what to do.
 Think that FDA market approval/clearance
assures 3rd party reimbursement.
Regulatory
Wisdom (?)
 The product you submit on is far more than the device you design.
 Remember the two key regulatory approval questions:
 Is it 510(k) or PMA?
 Are clinical trials needed?
 About FDA, remember:
 Attitude: process-driven and professional. Every device is
unsafe and ineffective until proven otherwise.
 Mission: safe and effective medical devices. Not cool, disruptive,
or cheap. They don’t care about your business success.
 Regulatory applications are written by believers and reviewed by
skeptics.

  • 4. What Do Potential Investors Want to Know?  What is your approval pathway?  How long will it take?  How much will it cost?  How likely is success?
  • 5. Without A Viable Strategy for Regulatory Approval, You Will  Investors will dismiss you.  FDA will be a roadblock to you.  Employees will lose faith in you.  Potential customers will find someone else to meet their needs.
  • 6. Today’s Objectives Provide a basic scaffold to better understand the regulatory realities and options for your own situation. Not to answer all your questions or define a reg strategy for you. A reg strategy must be custom-fit to your product, business plan, customer, competitive landscape, etc.

  • 10. 3. Basics of Medical Device Regulation in the US
  • 11. The Law Requires • US Medical Devices must be proven “safe and effective” based on “valid scientific evidence”. • Compare to US Drugs: must be proven “safe and effective” based on “well- controlled clinical studies”. • Compare to Devices in the EU: must be proven “safe and functions as designed”.
  • 12. Medical Devices are Regulated Based on Risk Class Requirements I 1. General Controls II 1. General Controls 2. Device-Specific Special Controls 3. Premarket Notification, aka 510(k) III 1. General Controls 2. Device-Specific Special Controls 3. Premarket Approval, aka PMA
  • 13. Medical Devices are Regulated Based on Device Risk Class Requirements I 1. General Controls II 1. General Controls 2. Device-Specific Special Controls 3. Premarket Notification, aka 510(k) III 1. General Controls 2. Device-Specific Special Controls 3. Premarket Approval, aka PMA
  • 14. General Controls • Adulteration • Misbranding • Device registration and listing • Records and reports • Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs, aka Quality System Regulation, or QSR)
  • 15. Medical Devices are Regulated Based on Device Risk Class Requirements I 1. General Controls II 1. General Controls 2. Device-Specific Special Controls 3. Premarket Notification, AKA 510(k) III 1. General Controls 2. Device-Specific Special Controls 3. Premarket Approval, AKA PMA
  • 16. Special Controls Include  Independent Standards:  ISO, ANSI, IEC, ASTM, etc.  Horizontal Standards  Vertical Standards  FDA Guidance Documents If any of these apply to your product, use them, or be prepared to explain why not, and what you used instead, and why.
  • 17. 4. How to Develop a Successful Regulatory Approval Strategy
  • 18. At some point you should probably talk to your friendly neighborhood regulatory consultant. But you can figure out many of the key elements yourself!
  • 19. How? Ask the Right Questions! 1. Is my product a medical device? 2. What Class is my product in? 3. What is my pathway to approval? 4. Will clinical studies be needed? 5. What are the strategic implications of the pathway?
  • 20. Is My Product a Medical Device? An instrument, apparatus, implement, machine, contrivance, implant, in vitro reagent, or other similar or related article, component, or accessory which is: 1. Intended to diagnosis disease or other conditions; or 2. Intended to cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent disease; or 3. Intended to affect the structure or any function of the body; 4. And which does not achieve any of its primary intended purposes through chemical action, 5. And does not depend on being metabolized to achieve them.
  • 21. The Border May be Set by Claims and Intended Use Example: A wearable that counts footsteps or calories, but claims no medical benefit from doing so, is NOT a medical device. The same product doing the same thing but with the claim that doing so helps the user lose weight or lower blood pressure IS a medical device.
  • 22. What Class is My Product? • Go to FDA > Medical Devices > Data Bases > Product Classification (https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cf docs/cfPCD/PCDSimpleSearch.cfm) • Type in the name of your product. • Review the listing. • Iterate until you find the most accurate description.
  • 27.
  • 28. What Is My Approval Pathway? Class Level of Proof FDA Filing* Testing Needed* I Mfg Registration and Device Listing Bench II Substantial Equivalence 510(k) Bench Animal III Safe and Effective PMA Bench Animal Human *Some Exceptions
  • 29. Is My Device a 510(k)? Almost all Class II devices are! But how to know? • Check out similar devices on the FDA Product Listing page • Find 510(k)s for similar devices at FDA > Medical Devices > Database > 510(k)s • Is there a device, itself under 510(k), to which you can prove substantial equivalence (SE)? • You can’t claim SE to a PMA device.
  • 30. What Makes for SE? (1/2) Compared to the Proposed Predicate Device: • Same intended use and same technological characteristics; or • Same intended use and different technological characteristics, but that do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness, with supporting evidence that the new device is at least as safe and effective as the predicate.
  • 31. What Makes for SE? (2/2) SE does not mean the 2 devices are identical. SE is judged base on intended use, design, energy used or delivered, materials, chemical composition, manufacturing process, performance, safety, effectiveness, labeling, biocompatibility, standards, etc.
  • 32. SE is Kind of a Black Art • The closer to your proposed predicate on each of these, the more likely you will succeed. • But there is no hard rule, guidance! • FDA will not tell you; you must make your case in a 510(k) filing! • In FDA’s response, you will know. • One key: how far is your predicate from its? SE
  • 33. If Not 510(k), Then It’s PMA Class Level of Proof FDA Filing* Testing Needed* I Mfg Registration and Device Listing Bench II Substantial Equivalence 510(k) Bench Animal III Safe and Effective PMA Bench Animal Human *Some Exceptions
  • 34. PreMarket Approval • Must prove the device is safe and effective • IDE clinical trials needed • Are your nearest competitor devices PMAs? Check at FDA > Medical Devices > Databases > PMAs
  • 35. Will I Need Clinical Studies? • All original PMAs need clinical studies • And 10% of all 510(k)s also need clinical studies • Conducted under IDE • Add multiple $$Mi and years to market!
  • 36. What are the Strategic Implications? Class Level of Proof FDA Filing* Size of the Filing Fees: “Retail” Small Bus Time**: to Reply Total Time N per Year** Changes After Approval? I Mfg Registration and Device Listing 10-20 pp $3,382 2-4 weeks NA Update device listing II Substantial Equivalence 510(k) 50-200 pp $4,690 $2,345 3 months 7 months 3,060 File new 510(k) III Safe and Effective PMA 10,000– 50,000 pp $234,495 $58,624 6 months 16 months 45 File PMA Supplement (2,116/y) *Exceptions **For 2016
  • 38. Don’t Make These Mistakes!  “My device has patents, so it can’t be SE”.  Design your device, get investors, and THEN get a regulatory strategy.  Use mfgs inexperienced with FDA.  Plan for a large % of your sales to be off-label.  Hide from FDA until you file your submission.  “I paid the filing fee; FDA owes me approval!”  Expect FDA to tell you what to do.  Think that FDA market approval/clearance assures 3rd party reimbursement.
  • 39. Regulatory Wisdom (?)  The product you submit on is far more than the device you design.  Remember the two key regulatory approval questions:  Is it 510(k) or PMA?  Are clinical trials needed?  About FDA, remember:  Attitude: process-driven and professional. Every device is unsafe and ineffective until proven otherwise.  Mission: safe and effective medical devices. Not cool, disruptive, or cheap. They don’t care about your business success.  Regulatory applications are written by believers and reviewed by skeptics.
