Workings of the FDA • • Responsibility to protect the public and dealing with technological changes Regulates anything for diagnosis, cure, mitigation, or prevention of disease as well as anything intended to affect structure/function of the human body 3 Branches – Drugs – Devices – Biologics – Combination products overseen by panel from three areas Requires the expertise of many - Engineers (including biomedical electrical, and materials) - Biologists and microbiologists - Physcians and other clinicians - Chemists, biochemists, and toxicologists - Medical technologists - Statisticians - Consumer safety officers and field investigators - Human factors specialists
Role of Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) • Ensure that products coming to market have more benefit than risk • Ensure that products are labeled so that practitioners and patients know what to expect from their use • Regulates 1, 700 types of devices • 23, 000 registered manufacturers • In 1996 received 20, 236 device related submissions
Regulation of Medical Devices • FDA did not regulate devices before 1938 • 1938: – FDA could only challenge sale of products it believed were unsafe – Could only remove them from the market after patient injuries • 1960 s: – Rapid innovation in medical technology – Tried to regulate many as drugs, i. e. contact lenses, IUDs – Catastrophic failures of heart valves and pacemakers • 1970 s: – Broad recognition that different rules were needed to regulate devices – No single policy would work for all devices • Tongue depressor • Artificial heart • Review commission determined that more than 700 deaths and 10, 000 injuries were associated with medical devices
Medical Device Act (1976) • Amendments to FD&C act allowed for classification of medical devices, device listing, establishment registration, adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and extensive control over market introduction of medical devices • Major amendments again in ’ 90, ’ 97, and ’ 02 • However, CDRH can not specifically regulate biomaterials; biomaterials are indirectly regulated according to intended use
Class Activity (~5 min) • Break up into groups of 3 students representing – Policy Maker – Manufacturer – Consumer • Discuss what you would want to see in a device approval process from each perspective • Report back
Basic Regulatory Requirements • Premarket notification 510(k) or Premarket approval (PMA) • Establishment registration on form FDA 2891 • Medical device listing on form FDA-2892 • Quality system (QS) regulation • Labeling requirements • Medical device reporting (MDR) http: //www. fda. gov/cdrh/devadvice/overview. html
Device Approval Process • Device + intended use considered together • Manufacturer submits request for marketing approval • Advisory panel – One consumer representative (non-voting) – One industry representative (non-voting) – Physicians and scientists • FDA not required to follow recommendations of panel, although they usually do
Steps in Device Approval Process • Device, drug, biologic, combo? • If device, Class I, II, or III? • 510(k) or PMA pathway? • If PMA passes, get IDE • 2 phases of clinical trials • If efficacy shown, submit pre-market notification • Post-market surveillance
Classes of Devices according to CDRH • Class I – – – Pose least risk to patient Not life sustaining GMP, proper record keeping required 30% of devices X-ray film, tongue depressors, stethoscopes • Class II – Not life sustaining, but must meet performance standards – Blood pressure monitors, Catheter guide wires – 60% of devices • Class III – – – Pose greatest risk to patient For use in supporting or sustaining human life 10% of devices Stents, heart valves, LVADs Require GMP, failure modes analysis, animal tests, human clinical studies under IDE
510(k) vs PMA • Substantially equivalent to a legally • Most Class III required marketed product – Before May 28 th, 1976 • Requires submission of clinical – Determined by FDA data • Most Class I exempt, most Class II • Actual approval process of device required by FDA • For description of device classification and database access, visit http: //www. fda. gov/cdrh/devadvice/ 313. html • 3 rd Party review process now available
510(k) Determination Flow Chart http: //www. fda. gov/cdrh/ode/dd 510 kse. pdf
Premarket Approval (PMA) • • Device and company name Indications Device description and schematics Description of alternate practices Contraindications Potential adverse affects Summary of all pre-clinical studies
Pre-clinical studies • Physical and chemical analysis • Biological testing – – – Pyrogenicity (LAL assay) Blood compatibility Acute/chronic toxicity Mutagenicity Validation of sterility • Animal studies – – Inflammatory/immune response Degradation Particulate migration Performance • How can one know how to perform all these tests? STANDARDS!
Standards • Tripartite Agreement on Biocompatibility: FDA guidelines regarding techniques for pre-clinical testing • ASTM Committee F-04 on Medical and Surgical Materials and Devices • Standards for – Test methods: specimen prep, conditions, number of samples, data analysis – Materials: chemical and physical properties – Devices: schematics, dimensions, tolerances – Procedures: how to do something besides a test, i. e. sterilization, • FDA accepts standards such that one can write, “I did X according to Y standard” • Shift in perspective towards worldwide harmonized system – ISO 10993 document – At least 16 parts describing globally recognized standards for • • Biocompatibility screens Evaluation for ethylene oxide residues Toxicity studies (i. e. , cyto, systemic, & kinetics) Many more
IDE and Clinical Trials • Investigational Device Exemption – Enables experimental use of high risk device – Must have positive engineering and animal data • Clinical Trials – First give approval for feasibility studies with small number of patients – Then proceed to multi-center trials – Larger data sets frequently show results from small sample sets are not true
Humanitarian Use Exemption • Device designed to treat or diagnose condition that affects <4, 000 patients/year • Device would not otherwise be available without exemption • No comparable device is available • Patients will not be exposed to unreasonable or significant risk of injury or illness by device
Medical Device Reporting • System to detect device related problems in a timely manner • Serious injuries or deaths that may have been caused by or related to a a medical device must be reported to the manufacturer of the device within 10 days • Must be reported to the FDA within 10 days
Steps in Device Approval Process • Device, drug, biologic, combo? • If device, Class I, II, or III? • 510(k) or PMA pathway? • If PMA passes, get IDE • 2 phases of clinical trials • If efficacy shown, submit pre-market notification • Post-market surveillance

Device Development Costs $$$ • Who funds development? • What is the typical government grant process?
R&D Funding for Biomedical Research • Federal government – Funds ~ 35% of all medical research in US • Mostly funded through NIH – Current NIH budget: ~$28 billion/year – NIH budget doubled from 1998 -2003 – Last year 0% increase – Focus is on basic research
Dollars in billions NIH Congressional Appropriations FY 1997 - FY 2006 NIBIB Grantsmanship Program U of H, Oct. 31, 2006

The NIBIB Vision To profoundly change health care by pushing the frontiers of technology to make the possible a reality. NIBIB Grantsmanship Program U of H, Oct. 31, 2006
A big challenge for the NIBIB is promoting multidisciplinary research • Clinicians, biologists and engineers speak in different languages • Clinicians and biologists may not know what is technically possible; engineers may not know the biomedical problems • Continued, ongoing collaboration essential NIBIB Grantsmanship Program U of H, Oct. 31, 2006
