Understanding the FDA ''Refuse to Accept'' guidance to avoid administrative rejection of your 510(k)

The webinar will familiarize participants with the FDA's Refuse to Accept Policy for medical device 510(k)’s and help you ensure that your 510(k) application is not rejected for lack of administrative completeness.

Why Should You Attend:

FDA’s efforts to be more efficient are good for industry. However, if you don’t adhere closely to the RTA guidance, a 510(k) application may be rejected for lack of administrative completeness. If an application is rejected, time delays are incurred while the deficiencies are addressed. Once corrected, the application may be resubmitted and a new 15 day clock begins. These delays could be costly in getting new technology or significant enhancements to existing technology cleared and onto the US market.

This presentation will help attendees navigate the RTA guidance in order to avoid rejection of 510(k) applications for administrative incompleteness.
