The Health Industry Manufacturers Association is urging medical device companies to take increasing advantage of a third-party review system within the Food and Drug Administration to gain quicker approval for their products.
Last month HIMA passed a resolution reminding companies to use the third-party review system. HIMA represents more than 800 manufacturers of medical devices, diagnostic products, and medical information systems.
The Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act, passed three years ago, devised the third-party system in response to a growing backlog of FDA applications and a dearth of personnel to complete the reviews. The act created a group of scientific and industry experts qualified to grant FDA approval for medical devices, said Linda Ruckel, HIMA spokeswoman.
HIMA members may be hesitant to use the third-party review system for product approval because they arent used to it, Ruckel said.
We believe its a good thing. A lot of times (members) will go for the old tried and true way rather than a new format, Ruckel said. We know its out there and we want to encourage (companies) to use it more.
MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
