510(k) Third Party Review Program – Latest Guidance, Changes, Challenges, and Opportunities

FDA 510 Image - Webinar Compilance

This webinar will examine the FDA’s latest draft guidance, “510(k) Third Party Review Program, Draft Guidance for Industry, Food and Drug Administration Staff, and Third Party Review Organizations” and the important areas for regulated companies to focus in the coming year onward.

The 510(k) Third Party (3P) Review Program (formally known as the Accredited Persons (AP) Program) is authorized under section 523 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act. Under this authority, FDA recognizes third parties to review premarket notification (510(k)) submissions and recommend the initial classification of certain devices. This establishes a process for recognition of qualified third parties to conduct the initial review of 510(k) submissions for certain low-to-moderate risk devices eligible for review under the 3P Review Program.

This webinar will also discuss amendments made to section 523 by the FDA Reauthorization Act of 2017, which directed FDA to issue draft guidance on the factors that are used to determine what class I or class II devices are eligible for review by an accredited person. The 3P Review Program is intended to enable FDA to focus its internal scientific review resources on higher-risk and complex devices, while maintaining a high degree of confidence in the review of low-to-moderate risk and less complex devices by 3P Review Organizations, and to provide manufacturers of eligible devices a voluntary alternative review process that may yield more rapid decisions on 510(k)s than from FDA.
