CDRH Industry: REMINDER: Webinar on “Leveraging Existing Clinical Data for Extrapolation to Pediatric Uses of Medical Devices” Final Guidance

On June 21^st, the FDA published a final guidance, which provides a framework to consider extrapolating existing data to evaluate a device’s performance in pediatric patients in pre-market approval applications (PMAs), humanitarian device exemptions (HDEs) and de novo requests. This guidance facilitates continued efforts to address unmet medical device needs for pediatric patients. 

FDA will discuss this final guidance document at a webinar scheduled on Monday August 8, 2016.  The webinar is intended to help manufacturers and other interested stakeholders understand the information provided in this final guidance document.  

Following a brief presentation, the FDA will respond to questions regarding this guidance document.
