FDA Filing StrategiesA comprehensive regulatory filing strategy is an imperative element of any medical device company's business plan. This strategy plays a tremendously important role in strategic, operational and budgetary planning. Identification of a predicate device, FDA issues such as device classification, 510k versus PMA, proactive discussions with the appropriate FDA device branch, Investigational Device Exemption issues, etc. are all pieces of the puzzle. With a well-crafted regulatory filing strategy puzzle pieces become waypoints on a map, bringing clarity to the device development process. |
