As a company expands or a product moves from early R&D toward regulatory approval, the number of documents required seems to expand exponentially. This week’s post on the advantages of electronic document management systems (EDMS) versus paper is the sixth and final in a series based on an interview I did with Frances Kennedy, MBA, owner and principal consultant for P7 Management Consulting. These posts are focused around:

Medical devices can cause adverse effects that weren’t anticipated either by the manufacturers or by regulatory agencies. High-profile cases have included metal-on-metal hip replacements and transvaginal surgical mesh. According to the Government Accountability Office, there were about 3,500 medical device recalls from 2005 to 2009. Many of these were ranked as “Class I” recalls—in other words, they involved a defect serious enough to create a "reasonable probability of adverse health consequences or death."

Welcome to the Modern Age of Medicine. New, smaller, faster, and more complex diagnostic kits and medical devices are coming to market almost daily, driving an industry now worth over $100 billion a year. Given how much the landscape has changed, combined with the increased complexity of these products and concerns raised by several high-profile recalls—the FDA has recognized that it’s time to update the laws that regulate medical devices and in vitro diagnostics.
