Taking your 510(k) Down Under - Australia's Reliance model of regulation.

Australia has developed a reliance model of regulation which leverages international reviews and is strong on international harmonisation. Explore TGA's streamlined Australian registration pathway for devices and IVDs already approved in US, Europe, Japan or Canada and requirements in key areas including software, UDI, clinical evidence and postmarket reporting.

Terrance (T.J.) Thiel, Brandwood CKC

China - managing the complexity

China's NMPA continues frequent and incremental updates to regulations and practice. Clinical data remain at the forefront of regulatory review, with clinical trials mandated unless formally exempted, and a very cautious opening of the door to international clinical trial data. China is following Europe's lead on postmarket reporting and placing strict requirements on local representatives for active monitoring of postmarket feedback. We take a look at the latest developments in the Middle Kingdom and why strategy with flexibility is key to success.
