CDRH Industry: REMINDER: FDA Webinar September 1, 2016: Announcing the General Wellness: Policy for Low-Risk Devices Final Guidance

The FDA will host a webinar tomorrow, September 1, to share information and answer questions for manufacturers about the final guidance document titled General Wellness: Policy for Low-Risk Devices.

The guidance, issued on July 28, explains that the FDA does not intend to actively regulate low-risk technologies that are intended only for general wellness use. The FDA encourages the development of general wellness technologies, such as fitness trackers or mobile apps, which can empower individuals to take a more active role in their health. The FDA will continue to focus its oversight on medical devices that may pose inherent risks to a user’s safety.

More information about the webinar is available online.
