In this meeting, we will be reviewing a multitude of MDR Decision Case Studies. Actual FDA warning letter MDR observations will be discussed - with a focus on the company’s apparent interpretation of the regulation, and the FDA’s perspective on reporting the MDR. This should be a fun and informative meeting! We will be doing some voting related to MDR decisions.

BRING YOUR CELL PHONE!

If you have a case study that you would like to submit for discussion (no company names please), please send the information to Christine Posin at . The case study should include:

  • Type of product;
  • Relevant facts about the product failure;
  • Information related to any patient event associated with the case; and
  • If there were previous deaths, serious injuries (including medical or surgical intervention) associated with a previous failure of the product.

The MDR Network Group was started in May 1996. The goals of the group are to understand the FDA MDR reporting requirements (21 CFR 803), share best practices of implementing the MDR regulations, and understand common pitfalls and mistakes made by manufacturers. MDR Network meetings are open to anyone who is interested, and there is no charge to attend. OCRA membership is encouraged, but is not required.
