Medical devices; immunology and microbiology devices; classification of AFP-L3% immunological test systems. Final rule.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is classifying AFP-L3% (alpha-fetoprotein L3 subfraction) immunological test systems into class II (special controls). The special control that will apply to the device is the guidance document entitled "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: AFP-L3% Immunological Test Systems." The agency is classifying the device into class II (special controls) in order to provide a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of the device. Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, FDA is announcing the availability of a guidance document that will serve as the special control for the device.

Successful recruitment for medical device clinical studies.

Inadequate subject enrollment represents a significant obstacle during a medical device clinical investigation. It can lead to costly delays and jeopardise the success of an entire device development project. This article discusses the importance of devising an effective subject recruitment strategy so that clinical and regulatory requirements can be met.

When to conduct a clinical trial.

A clinical trial is designed to provide clinical evidence of compliance with the medical device Directives. Clinical evidence can also be based on systematic and objective literature review. This article highlights when to use the clinical or the literature route to demonstrate the safety and performance of a medical device.

The impact of the revised electromagnetic compatibility standard.

Electromedical equipment must be tested to the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standard EN 60601-1-2 to carry the CE mark. The new version of EN 60601-1-2, which becomes mandatory from 1 November 2004, could affect the design of some products. This article summarises the new EMC requirements and provides design tips on how to meet them.

European medical device regulation: a new era?

By the spring of 2005, the European Commission hopes to present the first draft of the revisions to the Medical Device Directive to the European Council and Parliament. However, these revisions represent only part of the changing European regulatory scenario. This article discusses a tangible shift in European medical device regulatory policy and some actions that companies can take to understand and prepare for these policies.

The US medical device bundling policy.

Companies preparing United States (US) premarket submissions should be aware of a US policy that may save them time and money. This policy allows the grouping or "bundling" of multiple devices or multiple indications for use in a single submission. This article discusses this policy and a US guidance document that explains when bundling is appropriate.
