Use of Consensus Standards by Federal Agencies Codified in Public Law 104-113 National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 Interpreted by OMB Circular A119-1997 (currently being revised) Implemented by NIST Food & Drug Administration Modernization Act (FDAMA) 5 Food & Drug Administration Modernization Act (FDAMA) Section 514 (21 U.S.C. 360d) is amended by adding: by publication in the Federal Register, recognize all or part of an appropriate standard established by a nationally or internationally recognized standard development organization for which a person may submit a declaration of conformity in order to meet a premarket submission requirement or other requirement under this Act to which such standard is applicable. 6
Declaration of Conformity What does it mean? Conformance Equivalence Conformance Clearance Conformance Approval 7 Why Standards (besides the law)? Improve time to market for safe and effective medical devices and other health care products Facilitates product design and performance Continually raises the bar on safety and effectiveness Serves as education for FDA staff and industry 8
Why Use FDA Recognized Consensus Standards? Facilitates the premarket review process Conformance with Recognized Consensus Standards can provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness for many aspects of medical device evaluation. Standards produce voluntary consensus among industry, health care device users and FDA. Standards are updated as technology and experience advance 9 Supplemental Information Sheet (SIS) Provides CDRH s current view on the use of a recognized standard Products, processes, regulations, codes, contact Extent of Recognition identifies use and/or limitations, additions, etc. related to standard s content 10
