I. Background
FDA’s Center for Devices and
Radiological Health (CDRH) is
responsible for protecting the public
health by assuring the safety and
effectiveness of medical devices and
safe radiation-emitting products. A key
part of this mission is to monitor
medical devices and radiological
products for continued safety and
effectiveness after they are in use and to
help the public get the accurate,
science-based information they need to
improve their health.
Several high-profile device
performance concerns have led some to
question whether CDRH’s current
postmarket surveillance system is
optimally structured to meet the
challenges of rapidly evolving medical
devices and the changing nature of
health care delivery and information
technology. In their report entitled
‘‘Medical Devices and the Public’s
Health: The FDA 510(k) Clearance
Process at 35 Years’’ published in July
2011, the Institute of Medicine
recommended that FDA develop and
implement a comprehensive medical
device postmarket surveillance strategy
to collect, analyze, and act on medical
device postmarket performance
information. As part of the process of
developing and implementing this
strategy, FDA is holding a public
meeting to discuss the current and
future state of medical device
postmarket surveillance. Prior to this
public meeting, FDA intends to issue a
preliminary report on CDRH’s plan to
strengthen the medical device
postmarket surveillance system in the
United States. FDA intends to solicit
public feedback regarding the report
contents.
II. Topics for Discussion at the Public
Meeting
We intend to solicit public feedback
regarding the medical device postmarket
surveillance system in the United
States. Specific topics of interest
include, but are not limited to, the
following: (1) The unique device
identifier system and its incorporation
into health-related electronic records;
(2) national and international device
registries for selected products; (3)
adverse event reporting and analysis;
PO 00000
Frm 00068
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
52743
and (4) developing and using new
methods for evidence generation
synthesis and appraisal. These topics
will also be discussed in relation to the
Sentinel provision in the FDA Safety
and Innovation Act calling for the
expansion of the postmarket risk
identification and analysis system to
include devices. Key questions for
feedback include:
• Are these the right efforts?
• What principles should drive these
efforts?
• What are the attributes of an
effective ‘‘active surveillance’’ system
for devices?
• How can the device active
surveillance system leverage existing
systems (e.g., Sentinel)?
Following public comment, FDA
intends to have a moderated discussion
session regarding strengthening the
national medical device postmarket
surveillance system.
