FAQs

What are the key US/EU regulatory differences impacting the development of a software as a medical device (SaMD) product?

Both US and the EU follow a risk-based approach in terms of classification and therefore applicable requirements for devices.

 

Regulatory conformity is established against similar key recognized standards (i.e., IEC 62034). In the EU, CE marking is focused on safety and performance whereas FDA approvals primarily consider safety and effectiveness.

What are the typical challenges for innovative, software-based devices to access the US market, taking the 510K route?

The most common challenge for innovative medical device software following the 510K route is making sure that you meet the definition of a 510K (i.e., the same intended use and the same fundamental technology as the predicate device). 

 

The whole basis of your 510K is to demonstrate through existing performance data or existing special controls that your device is just as safe and effective as the predicate device.

Are there any medtech health innovation programs proposed by the authorities that can be utilized to facilitate market entry in the US and in Europe?

There are several different types of Q submissions that the FDA has put out in guidance. 

 

The most applicable is usually a pre-submission used to de-risk any future marketing application. In addition, you also have the Breakthrough Devices program. At an EU wide level, innovation programs are available based on national initiatives (i.e., the ANSM’s “Guichet Innovation” in France, and the Innovative Devices Access Pathway (IDAP) by the MHRA in the UK).

Can SaMD validation data recognized by European regulators also be used to support a US submission?​

Differences between the EU and the US will usually be in terms of clinical practice and patient population.

 

In this case you will have to be able to demonstrate to the FDA that the data you already have would be applicable to the US (i.e., usability, clinical evidence). So, if any studies were conducted and focused on the EU population only, you have to be able to demonstrate how the differences in the US have been considered. In addition, the FDA is always looking at harmonization, especially with the recognition of standards. The standards databases are constantly being evaluated and updated as international standards are published.
