Regulatory Requirements for Clinical Trials of Medical Devices and Diagnostics

  • Chapter
Clinical Evaluation of Medical Devices

Abstract

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires valid scientific evidence in order to determine whether there is reasonable assurance that a medical device is safe and effective for its intended use. This valid scientific evidence consists principally of well-controlled clinical investigations. This chapter will provide information on FDA regulatory requirements for controlled clinical investigations of medical devices and diagnostics, including who must conduct a clinical trial, the submissions required, and the procedures that must be followed.
