FDA Launches CDRH Regulatory Reliance Portal

The FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) has launched the CDRH Regulatory Reliance Portal, a new resource for regulatory authorities interested in learning about or considering regulatory reliance for medical/dental devices.  The portal centralizes existing FDA resources so regulatory authorities can more easily access useful information, including:

  • An introduction to reliance and key considerations for its use
  • Information on CDRH regulatory processes involved in the FDA’s medical/dental device review, decision-making, and postmarket surveillance
  • Links to the FDA’s publicly available resources that regulatory authorities can use to support reliance
