The 21st Century Cures Act requires the FDA to classify accessories.

• The definition of accessory and parent device from the guidance
• How the definition applies to “software as a medical device” (SaMD)
• The three-pronged approach to application of the accessory definition
• How to determine the classification status of an accessory
• The two methods of change applicable to a classified accessory
• The use of the de novo application process for an unclassified accessory

The brief includes a worksheet to help apply the definitions and determine if the accessory is classified.

• Product Marketing Specialists
• Regulatory Affairs Specialists
• Device Quality Specialists
• Design Engineering Managers
