Course overview

Bringing a medical device to market in the United States demands command of a sophisticated regulatory framework: 21 CFR Subchapter H, the FDA-recognized ISO/IEC consensus standards, the discipline of a 510(k) or PMA submission with its substantial-equivalence or clinical-evidence analysis, and — increasingly — FDA guidance specific to AI-enabled devices.

This instructor-led online course builds the regulatory, quality and clinical-evidence skills needed to take a medical device to market and manage it across its life cycle. It covers FDA premarket pathways in depth (510(k), De Novo, PMA, HDE, IDE) with substantial-equivalence and clinical-data analysis; international consensus standards (ISO 13485, ISO 14971, ISO 10993, the IEC 60601 family, IEC 62304); post-market surveillance (Medical Device Reporting under 21 CFR Part 803; the MAUDE database); the recall framework (21 CFR Parts 7, 806, 810); and current FDA guidance for AI-enabled devices, including Predetermined Change Control Plans, model-card transparency, data-drift monitoring and cybersecurity.

What you will learn

Build a 510(k) Premarket Notification checklist from 21 CFR 807 Subpart E with predicate-device and substantial-equivalence reasoning.
Build a PMA application checklist from 21 CFR 814 and contrast the 510(k) and PMA pathways.
Compare basic safety and essential performance; classify applied parts (Type B/BF/CF) under IEC 60601; plan ISO 10993-1 biocompatibility evaluation.
Justify regulatory-pathway selection using the FDA clinical-data scenarios for 510(k).
Outline an IDE-eligible clinical investigation with IRB qualification and a structured regulatory binder.
Conduct Medical Device Reporting analysis using Form 3500A and the MAUDE database, and meet 21 CFR Part 803 timelines.
Differentiate voluntary, mandatory and market-withdrawal recall routes under 21 CFR Parts 7, 806 and 810, and classify recalls.
Evaluate AI-enabled devices against current FDA guidance and IMDRF Good Machine Learning Practice, including PCCP, model cards, data-drift monitoring and cybersecurity.
