CFDA To Start Priority Reviews Of Medical Devices In January 2017

Starting in January 2017, the CFDA will begin accepting priority review applications for medical devices, a parallel effort to the priority reviews established for new drugs. To qualify, the medical device must offer a significant advance in terms of clinical practice or be derived from a National Science and Technology Major Project or National Key Research and Development Plan. If a product is granted priority review, the sponsoring company will be eligible for additional discussions during the approval process with the CFDA.
