A company is developing a new device and the classification under which it would fall is
unclear. As the regulatory professional, you would submit the following:
A. 510(k) Premarket Notification
,B. Request for Designation
C. 513(g) Request for Information
D. Type A Meeting Request - Answers -C.
A 513(g) Request for Information is submitted to ask FDA to determine a device's
classification and applicable requirements under the FD&C Act.
- A 510(k) submission is filed when a device's classification is known and the device is
compared to a predicate device to obtain FDA clearance.
- A Request for Designation asks FDA to determine whether a product is a drug, device,
biological product or combination product.
- A Type A Meeting is needed to help an otherwise stalled product development
program proceed.
Your company's commercial product is manufactured by a third-party manufacturer
(TPM). The manufacturing site undercharges one of the excipients. Without contacting
your company, the TPM decides to rework the batch and now would like the product to
be released upon completion of the investigation. Your technical team contacts you for
regulatory advice on whether the lot can be released upon approval of the investigation.
As a regulatory professional, as a first step you:
A. Recommend the lot be released
B. Recommend the lot not be released
C. Assess whether the rework steps are within the regulatory filing and whether there is
a potential regulatory impact
D. If the rework steps are not in the current filing, submit a postapproval change to
include the rework steps in order to release the material - Answers -C

Product release and disposition is a quality responsibility, not regulatory. The regulatory
professional is responsible for reviewing the event and assessing whether the additional
steps performed in the manufacturing process are allowed within the regulatory filing.
The team may decide to include the rework procedure; however, additional data may be
needed for the submission. Therefore the recommended first step is response 3.
,A company's competitor is marketing a Class II suture that dissolves during the third
week of use. The company's current product has to be removed by a physician.
However, a change in weaving configuration gives this product the same dissolving time
as the competitor's. What needs to be done for the company to market this new
dissolving suture?
A. Filing a new 510(k) documenting changes in product instructions for use
B. Submission of changes in a periodic report
C. After-reporting clinical studies in an Annual Report
D. After-submission of labeling change - Answers -A.
A new intended use requires a 510(k).
While reviewing product complaint files for MDR reportability, you notice a complaint
regarding a common failure mode of an implantable screw. No patient involvement or
adverse consequences were reported in the complaint. Your firm has initiated a Class I
recall for this implantable screw due to safety issues associated with this failure mode.
As a regulatory professional your decision is:
A. This complaint is reportable; an MDR will be filed with FDA within 30 days
B. A review of the complaint history is needed to see whether such failure mode likely
will cause or contribute to death or serious injury
C. No MDR is needed as there is no patient involvement and no adverse consequences
were reported
D. No MDR is needed but you will file this complaint in the recall file - Answers -A.
When a recall is initiated for a particular product failure mode, such failure mode
automatically is MDR-reportable to FDA. Additionally, while the complaint did not report
an adverse event, the manufacturer should evaluate the potential to cause an adverse
event if the failure mode was to re-occur.
