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.

This paper analyzed the current reform of review and approval mechanism for medical devices and discussed the method for technical review process extending to product quality controllable direction and found the measures and suggestions to strengthen technical review for quality management system with the help with complementary relationship between the technical review and the quality management system assessment of the pre-market registration. Nowadays, because of the demand of eRPS， MAH and the amendment of regulation, the integration of technical review and quality management system is more important, necessary and scientific. Scientific and systematic evaluation should be carried out to strengthen the pre-market approval of medical devices and ensure the safety and effectiveness of medical products.
