Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration released a draft guidance document, ?Factors to Consider Regarding Benefit-Risk in Medical Device Product Availability, Compliance, and Enforcement Decisions<\/a>.? The purpose of this guidance is to clarify how the FDA assesses benefits and risks for medical devices already available on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This draft guidance focuses on the factors the FDA may consider when making decisions related to compliance and enforcement actions for a specific medical device company, or when making decisions that may affect a medical device?s availability on the market.  In addition to evaluating scientific and clinical data, the FDA may also consider the patient perspective and other real-world data when determining a device?s safety profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FDA believes the use of this information by medical device companies in their own benefit and risk assessments may help them to better determine when to initiate a recall, whether to correct a defective product or to remove it from the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We welcome your comments regarding this draft guidance. On Thursday, June 16, the notice of availability will publish in the Federal Register<\/a> and will be open for 90 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have any questions, please contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education (DICE) in the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) at 1-800-638-2014<\/a>, 301-796-7100<\/a> or dice@fda.hhs.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, CDRH will hold a webinar<\/a> on Monday, July 11, 2016 at 2:00 PM (Eastern Time) to answer questions regarding this draft guidance.  No registration is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you,
