Share:

nmpa guidelines for nanomaterials

The NMPA released eleven filing review guidelines on September 1, 2022. Equivalent to FDA’s Acceptance and Filing Reviews, it is intended to be used by NMPA reviewers and the device industry to help elucidate the broad clinical and registration issues that need to be addressed in the submission and key decisions to be made during the filing process.

Focusing NMPA’s review resources on complete applications will provide a more efficient approach to ensuring that safe and effective medical devices reach patients as quickly as possible. “Medical Device Registration and Filing Management Measures” regulates that if the applicant needs to supplement for deficiency and correct materials during the technical review process, the technical review agency shall notify all the contents that need to be supplemented and corrected at ONE TIME. The applicant shall provide supplementary materials at ONE TIME within one year.
