Transitioning from EUA to 510(k) for IVD Products: Planning to Execution

Online Event

In 2020, NAMSA hosted, “Transitioning from EUA to 510(k) Clearance for IVD Products: What to Expect?,” which focused on necessary regulatory, clinical and quality steps required to move from EUA to 510(k) approval. Two years later, we all have a stronger understanding of the expiration timeline for the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) and a clearer picture of how to prepare for the upcoming changes. NAMSA invites you to attend this webinar where we will unpack the U.S. FDA draft guidance and discuss best practices for identifying gaps and maximizing your on-market product for a successful 510(k) submission, including an execution plan to achieve a quick and timely 510(k) approval.
