Dublin, June 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "FDA Approval Process for Medical Devices" conference has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This seminar will provide a solid foundation in the approval and clearance processes for medical devices in the United States

Participants will gain an understanding of the underlying legal and regulatory requirements and the general controls applicable to all devices, including device classification, establishment registration and device listing. With the underlying framework in mind, the approval and clearance processes for new and modified devices will be presented, including 510(k), IDE, PMA, HDE and De Novo applications.

Application contents, review processes, timelines, and key guidance documents will be discussed for each major type of submission. Participants will also learn about the pre-submission process, which FDA strongly recommends prior to the initial submission of novel devices to help ensure a successful submission process.

For information while the law, regulations, principles and processes covered in the course apply to both medical devices and in vitro diagnostic (IVD) devices, the tutor's primary experience is with medical devices rather than IVDs.
