Orthogen granted IDE approval for medical technology for knee osteoarthritis

Feb. 3, 2023
By Bernard Banga
Orthogen AG received an investigational device exemption (IDE) from the U.S. FDA for its Orthogen technology device. This approval allows the company to start a pivotal trial on the device, used for treating patients with mild stage (II) to severe stage (IV) knee osteoarthritis. The trial will compare improvements in pain levels and function using standalone glucocorticoid injection, the current standard of care, against the Orthogen device.

MDMA’s Leahey says Medicare breakthrough device coverage still a work in progress

Feb. 3, 2023
By Mark McCarty
The Medical Device Manufacturers Association (MDMA) has led the policy charge for smaller medical device manufacturers for decades, but each year brings its own unique set of hazards and opportunities. In an interview with BioWorld, MDMA President and CEO Mark Leahey said that while the Medicare policy for coverage of breakthrough devices has gone through some unanticipated twists and turns, that policy is not yet fixed and thus there is still some prospect that such a policy will not devolve into a stew of leftovers drawn from existing coverage mechanisms.

Human factors engineering a requirement for software used with cameras for vital signs

Feb. 2, 2023
By Mark McCarty
The U.S. FDA recently posted the regulation for software used to derive vital signs from optical camera images thanks to a successful de novo petition by Oxford, U.K.-based Oxehealth Ltd., a regulation that carries the usual requirements for software verification and validation. However, the regulation also requires some human factors engineering (HFE) studies of the software interface, a requirement that may become more demanding to fulfill per a recent draft guidance on the subject.

FDA posts regulation in response to Paige.AI’s de novo for prostate scoring system

Feb. 1, 2023
By Mark McCarty
New York-based Paige.AI Inc., was successful in its de novo application to the U.S. FDA for the company’s digital pathology software for identification of cancerous prostate tissue, but the agency needed nearly a year and a half after the September 2021 grant of de novo petition to post the regulation for this novel algorithm.

FDA hammers Righteye for off-label promotion of visual impairment system

Feb. 1, 2023
By Mark McCarty
The U.S. FDA inked a Dec. 20, 2022, warning letter to Righteye LLC that handed the company a list of quality system issues in dire need of redress, but the agency was more concerned about off-label promotion of the Righteye vision system as a method for evaluating the patient’s ocular tremors as a sign of Parkinson’s disease.

MDIC sees expanding role for computational modeling and simulation in med tech

Jan. 31, 2023
By Mark McCarty
Computational modeling and simulation (CM&S) isn’t the new flavor of the month in the medical device industry, but it hasn’t exactly achieved the status of a buzzword, either. However, the Medical Device Innovation Consortium (MDIC) has published a report which makes clear that these software tools are continuing to open new frontiers in device development, a trend that seems certain to continue to expand in the decades ahead as to-market costs continue to grow.

Biden administration to allow pandemic-driven public health emergency to end

Jan. 31, 2023
By Mark McCarty
The Biden administration has determined that the public health emergency (PHE) for the COVID-19 pandemic will not be renewed and thus will come to an end in the second week of May. While the end of the PHE will affect some Medicare telehealth provisions that have not been memorialized in legislation, the U.S. FDA’s ability to issue emergency use authorizations (EUAs) will not be immediately affected as that authority was invoked by a separate mechanism.

US NIST’s risk framework for artificial intelligence may drive complexity for med tech

Jan. 30, 2023
By Mark McCarty
The advantage of the U.S. FDA’s effort to regulate artificial intelligence (AI) in medical devices is that it is specific to medical devices and other medical products, but this vertical approach to AI regulation might soon become exceptionally complicated thanks to a new AI risk management framework posted by the U.S. National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST). The NIST guideline is agnostic to the sector of the economy and thus may carry with it the expectation that developers of software as a medical device will hew to both the NIST framework and FDA regulations, a layering of requirements that could vastly complicate the task of developing and deploying these algorithms.
