The traditional regulation mode on medical devices has invalid and negative effect problems. In order to more effectively ensure safety and efficacy of medical devices, promote healthy industrial development, this paper puts forward the innovative concept of smart regulation on the basis of problem orientation. Compared with traditional regulatory mode, smart regulation focus on effectiveness, and pays attention to relationship between effective regulation with self-discipline and industrial development, has characteristics of improving pertinence, effectiveness, accuracy, speed and efficiency of regulation. This paper further elaborates implementation approaches and attentions of smart regulation, by the ways of strengthening credit management, intelligent regulation, professional regulation, promoting self-discipline and encouraging innovation.

Type inspection is a necessary precondition of technical evaluation of medical device. The implementation of The Provisions for Administration of Self-Test for Medical Device Registration facilitates the registration pathway for applicants. How to improve the effectiveness of registration self-test has drawn attention from many stakeholders. In this study, we analyzed and discussed the factors affecting the validity of registration self-test from technical evaluation perspective, and proposed suggestions for improvement accordingly. The aim of this article is to boost the reliability and effectiveness of registration self-test and offer a reference for applicants to carry out registration self-test.

OBJECTIVE: To interpret the key contents of the guidance of Personalized Medical Device Regulatory Pathways issued by the IMDRF, and provide reference for the improvement of China's medical device regulatory system. METHODS: The regulatory requirements of personalized medical devices and point-of-care manufacture of medical device were described respectively, and the feasibility of implementing the regulation of point-of-care manufacture of medical device in China was analyzed. RESULTS: The different regulatory pathways of medical devices produced at point-of-care are feasible and have different regulatory risks. CONCLUSIONS In combination with the recommendations provided by the IMDRF guidance and the clinical and regulatory realities in China, we should accelerate the improvement of the regulations and supporting documents for point-of-care manufacture of medical device in China.

On October 21, 2021, the National Medical Products Administration issued and implemented the Self-examination Management Regulations for Medical Device Registration. The regulations clarify the specific requirements of the registration applicants in the process of self-examination, and put forward detailed requirements from the aspects of self-examination ability, self-examination report, declaration materials and responsibility requirements, so as to ensure the orderly development of the self-examination of medical device registration. Based on the actual verification work of in vitro diagnostic reagent, this study briefly discussed the understanding of the relevant contents of the regulations, aiming to provide some reference for enterprises and related supervision departments that have the requirement of registered self-examination.

Through the analysis of laws and policies related to registration self-inspection, visiting and researching enterprises, holding symposiums, and issuing nationwide questionnaires, the risks in the registration self-inspection process were summarized, analyzed, and evaluated. From the aspects of regulatory departments and manufacturing enterprises, we suggest to improve China's medical device registration regulations system and reduce the risks of all parties in the registration self-inspection work.

In recent years, emerging technology medical devices have developed rapidly. How to more scientifically and more efficiently regulate these novel medical devices so as to improve access to advanced medical technology while ensuring safety and effectiveness is a new challenge faced by regulatory authorities, and is also the core topic of regulatory science. New tools, new standards and new methods are important means to achieve regulatory science. "Medical Device Development Tool" proposed by the U.S. FDA is a novel medical device regulatory science tool, which can help medical device developers to predict and evaluate product performance more efficiently. It is also helpful for regulatory authorities to make regulatory decisions more efficiently. This study introduces the concept, qualification process, role of MDDT in medical device regulation and MDDT examples, and makes some discussion on the device evaluation from the perspective of reliability and validity. MDDT can facilitate the developing of novel medical device.

Medical device test is a very important step of medical device registration processes and is also a procedure to confirm whether the medical devices comply with applicable standards. The standardization system is imperfect yet in China due to the complexity of medical devices and the specialty of medical device industry. In this circumstance, the medical device standard is not only the important criteria for the medical devices registration, but also an important practical procedure of the medical device registration. This paper reviews the existing questions and also gives some comments and suggestions on the medical device standardization system from the view point of medical device test.
