Registration: To register for the public conference please visit FDA’s Medical Devices News, Events, Workshops, and Conferences calendar at https:// www.bmes.org/meddevicesconference. There is a registration fee to attend the public conference to cover the expenses, and attendees must register in advance. The fees vary depending upon membership status in BMES, and include BMES members ($450), nonBMES members (includes 1 year BMES membership) ($600), and Government rate (BMES memberships and meals are not included) ($250). Students will be offered a discounted fee of $300 (BMES member) or $350 (non-BMES member) (includes 1 year BMES membership). A full listing of the registration fees can be found on the Web site listed. Although the facilities are spacious, registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis. If you need special accommodations due to a disability, please contact Betse Lyons at Betse@bmes.org or 301–459– 1999, 8201 Corporate Drive, Suite 1125, Landover, MD 20785–2224, FAX: 301– 459–2444, no later than May 4, 2015.

Background The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) believes that computer modeling and simulation (M&S) has the potential to substantially augment traditional models used to evaluate medical devices; i.e., animal, VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:52 Apr 01, 2015 Jkt 235001 bench, and human models, and to accelerate and streamline the total product life cycle of a medical device. The use of computer models to simulate multiple use conditions and to visualize and display complex processes and data can revolutionize the way medical outcomes and medical devices are understood. Non-proprietary computer models could benchmark device performance, yet lack of access to biomedical data to construct the models and rigorous methods to validate the models limit their credibility and use. To foster good science for M&S in the medical device community, CDRH needs to leverage the expertise in industry and academia to advance M&S for regulatory uses. II. Topics for Discussion at the Public Workshop A large number of issues will be discussed at the conference with the overall theme being the application of modeling and simulation for medical devices at different stages in the total product life cycle. Topics include, but are not limited to the following: • Model foundations for device design ideation; • concept development and design optimization; • modeling for robust design; • design verification and validation; • patient specific design; • integration of modeling with clinical studies; • modeling and device commercialization. This public workshop may also form the basis for future discussions related to computer modeling and simulation that could benefit U.S. public health. Dated: March 27, 2015.
