Cumulative number of technical reviews of new applications and data supporting requests for premarket approvals completed
Cumulative FY 2012 Target: 1,300 by 9/30/2012
Dictionary: Laboratory staff conduct technical reviews for new applications having the most novel, difficult, and complex engineering analyses and issues. The most challenging premarket device regulatory issues faced by CDRH typically involve (1) novel technologies in which the relevant technical questions are not obvious; (2) submissions in which there is a need for independent data to verify manufacturers’ claims; or (3) new products for which there are no well validated test methods. Technical reviews by OSEL engineers and scientists bring specialized expertise to the process, frequently enabling CDRH to address these challenges with a science-based decision process.
