Q

IVDs are regulated according to a risk-based classification system based on what factors?

A

Intended use, indications for use, types of specimens to be tested, and the consequences of a false test result

22
Q

What is the definition of intended use?

A

Intended Use:

The device’s general purpose of function and encompasses the indications for use

23
Q

What is the definition of indications for use?

A

Indications for Use:
The disease or condition the device will diagnose, treat, prevent, cure, or mitigate, including a description of the patient population for which the device is intended

24
Q

TRUE/FALSE: The level of control required to ensure devices are reasonably safe and effective when they are placed on the market determines the IVD class.

A

TRUE

25
Q

Class 1 IVDs must comply with General Controls, which include…

A

Establishment registration and device listing, GMPs, Labeling

26
Q

What are examples of Class 1 IVDs?

A

Class 1 IVDs:

clinical chemistry tests for urine pH, reagents and kits for immunohistochemistry stains

27
Q

What is the regulatory pathway for most Class 2 IVDs?

A

General controls + special controls
510(k) submission for marketing clearance that includes evidence for a determination of substantial equivalence to a similar product already on the market (predicate device)

28
Q

What are examples of Class 2 IVDs?

A

Class 2 IVDs:

microbiology tests for pathogenic organisms that cause diseases, newborn screening for metabolic disorders

29
Q

What is the regulatory pathway for most Class 3 IVDs?

A

General controls + special controls

PMA application

30
Q

What are examples of Class 3 IVDs?

A

Class 3 IVDs:

Q

What is the purpose of CLIA?

A

CLIA:

32
Q

TRUE/FALSE: The CLIA certificate type depends on the size of the laboratory.

A

FALSE! The CLIA certificate type depends on the laboratory tests’ complexity.

  2. Moderate complexity tests
  3. High complexity tests
34
Q

Requests for complexity categorization are submitted to what FDA center?

A

35
Q

When is CLIA categorization determined?

A

At the time a 510(k) or PMA is submitted; FDA will notify the manufacturer of the CLIA within 2 weeks of device clearance/approval

36
Q

What is a presubmission?

A

Presubmission:

A formal written request from an applicant/sponsor to the FDA for feedback (either written response or a meeting)

37
Q

What is premarket notification (510(k))?

A 
Premarket Notification (510(k)):
A premarket submission made to FDA at least 90 days prior to placing a device on the market, to demonstrate the device is as safe and effective (substantially equivalent) as a legally marketed predicate device (not subject to a PMA)

True

42
Q

What is the purpose of a de novo classification?

A

To classify a Class III device (auto-classified due to no predicate) as a Class I or II:
For devices that don’t have a predicate, but for which special controls will be appropriate for controlling risks and ensuring devices are reasonably safe and effective

43
Q

A

FDASIA

44
Q

What are the three levels of concern of software?

A
  1. Major - failure could result directly in death or serious injury (includes incorrect/delayed information)
  2. Moderate - failure could result directly in minor injury (includes incorrect/delayed information)
  3. Minor - failure is unlikely to cause any injury
45
Q

What is a device hazard analysis?

A

Includes the hardware and software hazards identified during design and development, and an assessment of the severity and the mitigations implemented to control them

46
Q

What is the purpose of cybersecurity management?

A

To reduce patient risk by decreasing the likelihood that device functionality is intentionally or unintentionally compromised by inadequate cybersecurity

47
Q

What is a companion diagnostic?

A 
Companion diagnostic (aka in vitro companion diagnostic device):
An in vitro diagnostic device that provides information essential for the safe and effective use of a corresponding therapeutic product
48
Q

What are situations where companion diagnostics would be used?

A
  • Identify patients that are most likely to benefit from the therapeutic product
  • Identify patients likely to be at an increased risk for serious adverse reactions as a result of treatment
  • Monitor response to treatment with the therapeutic product for the purpose of adjusting treatment
49
Q

TRUE/FALSE: The FDA reviews each IVD companion diagnostic device submission within the context of its corresponding therapeutic product.

A

TRUE! IVD companion diagnostics are approved/cleared with the corresponding therapeutic product’s approval

50
Q

What is a Laboratory Developed Test (LDT)?

A

Laboratory Developed Test (LDT):

Intended for clinical use and is designed, manufactured, and used within a single laboratory

51
Q

TRUE/FALSE: LDT regulatory oversight is currently unclear.

A

TRUE - The FDA has allowed LDT commercialization without premarket review in the past. However, this is becoming an issue
