On January 13, 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) released a discussion paper synthesizing public feedback on FDA’s 2014 draft guidance documents and outlining a possible approach to regulation of laboratory developed tests (LDTs) (Discussion Paper). This approach is intended to “advance the public discussion by providing a possible approach to spur further dialogue” and “to respond to stakeholder feedback and attempt to balance patient protection with continued access and innovation.”

On November 8, 2016, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published a final guidance titled Medical Device Reporting for Manufacturers (“Final Guidance”). The guidance explains and clarifies FDA’s interpretations of its regulations under 21 C.F.R. Part 803 for adverse event and malfunction reporting and recordkeeping for manufacturers. On November 30, 2016, FDA explained its reasoning behind certain provisions in the Final Guidance through a webinar. The Final Guidance supersedes the Medical Device Reporting for Manufacturers final guidance published in March 1997, and replaces FDA’s draft guidance on Medical Device Reporting for Manufacturers (“Draft Guidance”) published on July 9, 2013. Following the release of the Draft Guidance, FDA received 33 comments from various stakeholders.
