EMERGO SUMMARY OF KEY POINTS:
Indian regulators have recently announced several updates regarding their medical device and IVD oversight programs.
First, CDSCO plans to rename itself to more accurately convey its mission. No new name has yet been announced, but potential names under consideration include the National Drug Authority (NDA) and Central Drug Authority (CDA).
Second, the Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission (IPC) has published new draft guidance on medical device registration and regulatory compliance to the country’s Medical Device Rules, 2017. The guidance is intended to serve as a reference manual for issues including device classification, quality management, registration and post-market vigilance.
Third, Indian regulators have issued new guidance on performance evaluation of IVD devices after changing performance evaluation report (PER) requirements. The guidance identifies types of IVDs that require reports from approved device testing laboratories, and provides a list of such laboratories accredited to conduct IVD performance evaluations.
