Four Data Management Guidelines Issued for Devices and IVDs
The NMPA issued four data management guidelines. These documents are formulated to facilitate the information technology infrastructure for medical device registration and filing, encompassing both domestic and imported medical devices falling under Class I, Class II, and Class III:
They establish standards for the identification of data elements, including their Chinese names, short names, definitions, data types, representation formats, allowable values, units of measurement, versions, and sources. These standards are applicable to the identification, exchange, and sharing of information related to medical devices and IVD products.
Also, they define the code domains for data elements used in the regulation of medical device and IVD registrations. These code domains are essential for representing, exchanging, identifying, and processing information related to medical devices and IVDs. For more information click HERE
Innovation Approvals
AI Infused Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) for Ischemic Stroke Detection Approved
The NMPA granted innovation approval to Ischemic stroke CT image assisted assessment software.
This software is designed to aid healthcare professionals in evaluating and categorizing abnormal CT scans of the brain. Employing AI algorithms to analyze CT image data and generate Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS), it quantitatively assesses the suspected acute large artery occlusion ischemic stroke patients within onset of 6 hours.
