This is good thing and it’s the same process that should and does take place when creating medical records, seeing and understanding both sides of the story.  We also know that the FDA desperately needs engineers just like the rest of businesses in the US as well due to the fact that many more devices have software attached either directly or wireless use.   BD

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today announced two new training programs designed to improve the consistency of medical device reviews by enhancing the skills of those reviewing premarket applications at the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH).

The Reviewer Certification Program, which began as a pilot in April 2010 with participants from CDRH’s Division of Anesthesia, General Hospital, and Infection Control and Dental Devices, will launch this month and is intended to include all new device reviewers.

The program includes up to 18 months of training, aimed at complementing the skills and knowledge that new reviewers bring to CDRH from fields such as biomedical engineering and health care. Reviewers in the program will complete online training modules, instructor-led courses, and obtain practical experience in the medical device review process. Courses include medical devices, food and drug law and regulatory requirements, the CDRH review process, device design, and the impact of human factors.

“We are investing resources so that new device reviewers at CDRH are equipped to handle the range of issues that arise during the premarket device reviews,” said CDRH director Jeffrey Shuren, M.D. “This investment will improve the quality of submission review and make the process more consistent and predictable.”

CDRH is also developing a pilot Experiential Learning Program for premarket reviewers. The program will include visits to academic institutions, manufacturers, research organizations, and health care facilities and is intended to give reviewers a better understanding of how medical devices are designed, manufactured and used. The program will also help new medical device reviewers understand the challenges of technology development and the impact of medical devices on patient care.

“Providing our review staff with opportunities to experience medical device development and use from outside the agency will provide new reviewers with a broader view of the regulatory process for medical devices,” Shuren said.

The Experiential Learning Program is in the design stage and scheduled to begin as a pilot program in 2012.

Enhancing staff training is one of the 25 action items listed in the FDA’s Plan of Action for Implementation of 510(k) and Science Recommendations announced earlier this year to increase the predictability and transparency of regulatory pathways and to strengthen the 510(k) process. The 510(k) is the most common pathway to market for medical devices.

The FDA, an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, protects the public health by assuring the safety, effectiveness, and security of human and veterinary drugs, vaccines and other biological products for human use, and medical devices. The agency also is responsible for the safety and security of our nation’s food supply, cosmetics, dietary supplements, products that give off electronic radiation, and for regulating tobacco products.
