October 10, 2017

Date:

Time:
4:00 AM - 1:00 PM ET

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a public workshop entitled "Voluntary Medical Device Manufacturing and Product Quality Program."

The purpose of the workshop was to announce the proposed framework and preliminary outline of a voluntary pilot program that recognizes an independent assessment of manufacturing and product quality. The workshop was intended to discuss the framework of the voluntary pilot program, information on the independent assessment, details of participation, rules of engagement, monitoring and performance expectations, as well as potential modifications to FDA's oversight actions in response to demonstrated manufacturing quality performance. FDA is soliciting public feedback to aid in the development of science-based approaches to regulatory decision making for assessing manufacturing quality, extent of manufacturing related submissions, and how to better allocate resources to lower the regulatory burden on manufacturers and FDA.
