Classifying Medical Devices in US and EU

Overview
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has established classifications for approximately 1,700 different generic types of devices and grouped them into 16 medical specialties referred to as panels. Each of these generic types of devices is assigned to one of three regulatory classes based on the level of control necessary to assure the safety and effectiveness of the device.The determination process, how you apply the classification process to your device, is complex and requires several levels of analysis to make the proper device classification.
Proper medical device classification is the fundamental first step in submitting your device for approval anywhere in the world.
This webinar will detail the medical device classification process for the United States through the FDA and will overview the very complex process for medical device classification within the EU. Specifically, this webinar will provide detailed background into the process and will make clear some of the very complex terms and sub-processes associated with medical device classification. We will actually work through the classification process step-by-step for the US and will overview how the process is accomplished for the EU.
