Harmonize the ISO standard with the ICH-GCPs and MedDev
guidances on clinical trials
Clarify the responsibilities of investigator, sponsor, monitor, and
IRB/EC more thoroughly and consistently
Clarify risk and risk assessment with regard to the subject rather
then device design
Update the literature review section to match MedDev and any
developing GHTF documents: Investigator’s Brochure
Clarify the responsibilities of sponsors, monitors, investigators,
institutions, IRBs/ECs, DSMB, auditors, and other parties
Clarify details of the Investigator ‘s Brochures, final report,
adverse event handling, case report forms, and data mgmnt
Distinguish between adverse events, devise deficiencies, and

Classification Basis
•
•
•
•
16
Classification depends on intended use and
indications for use, and level of risk
Intended use- What disease, symptom, or condition
is the device intended to treat? How will the device
be used?
Indications for use- What kinds of patients should this
be used on? Can be based on age, disease state,
medical history, allergies, etc.
Level of risk-Is the device life-saving? Is the device
life-sustaining? Is there an unreasonable risk of
illness or injury associated with use of the device?
Fulfilling the Promise of Medicine Together
Device Classification
Class I
 Safety & effectiveness are well-established
 Subject only to “General Controls” (registration, device
listing, GMPs)
Class II
 Need “Special Controls” (guidances, postmarket
surveillance, labeling, preclinical testing)
Class III
 General and special controls are insufficient to assure
safety and effectiveness
 Devices that are life-sustaining, life-supporting, or
present unreasonable risk of illness or injury

Protocol Deviations



18
CFR 812.150(a)(4) require prior approval from the
sponsor of all planned deviations, including
administrative and minor deviations.
Planned deviations requested of a sponsor must be
submitted for IRB review as a “Change in Research”
prior to instituting any IDE research planned
deviations
For device research, the PI must keep on file a copy
of the written approval document from the sponsor
and IRB when a deviation is granted.

UADEs must be reported by investigators to
sponsors and reviewing IRBs as follows:
As soon as possible, but in no event later than 10
working days after the investigator first learns of the
event
Sponsors must immediately conduct an evaluation of
a UADE and must report the results of the evaluation
to FDA, all reviewing IRBs, and participating
investigators within 10 working days after the sponsor
first receives notice of the effect

Does “risk analysis”mean risks of the device or the risks of study participation?
•Is it always necessary to keep records of all the potential subjects screened?
•Must all data be copied into or collected in Case Report Forms vs. hospital
records?
•Must marketed products that are studied for new uses have
“Investigational”labeling?
How to integrate quality assurance for the study into the overall quality system of
the Sponsor? Investigator or CRO?
