From September 11 to 13, 2016, the 7th China International Medical Device Regulatory Forum was held in Chengdu.
Based on the theme of “standardizing clinical trials on medical devices and ensuring the reliability of clinical data”, the forum invited domestic and foreign experts to give keynote speeches. Meanwhile, centered on regulatory and industrial hot issues, it has set more than 10 sub-forums, such as Medical Device Innovative Technology and Product Forum and Medical Device Post-marketing Regulatory Forum, etc. Heads of medical device regulatory and technical institutions interpreted policies, regulations and technical requirements in China. Experts from domestic and foreign medical device regulatory and technical departments and industrial circles exchanged on regulations, new products and new technology related to medical devices.
Jiao Hong, Deputy Director of CFDA attended and addressed at the opening ceremony of the forum. Jiao Hong pointed out that the security of medical devices concerned every person’s health and life. It was an important livelihood problem and also an important social problem. CFDA will orient to people’s health, accelerate the pace of regulatory reform and innovation related to medical devices and keep improving safety governance and guarantee level of medical devices. Hope all walks of life actively support the supervision of medical devices and form a good situation in which the security of medical devices can be governed by the whole society.
The forum was hosted by China’s Food and Drug International Exchange Center. For seven years since its sponsorship, the forum has become a good platform for policy interpretation, hot issues discussion and experience exchange and made contributions to promoting international exchanges and cooperation in the field of medical devices and the international regulation of Chinese medical devices.
