  1. TEPRSSC Meeting CDRH Update Lillian Gill October 1, 2003

  2. Current Issues • Wireless telephones • Laser standard • CT safety • Future direction of program

  3. Wireless Telephones • Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) • CTIA and FDA • Funds health effects research • 2001 micronucleus studies • 2003 epidemiology studies • 2004 Scientific meeting

  4. Wireless Telephones • Nat’l Toxicology Program • Large animal study • Toxicology and carcinogenicity of radio frequency radiation (RFR) • CDRH Research • Enzymes prompted by RF

  5. Wireless Telephones • Collaboration w/ other Agencies • Radio Frequency Inter-Agency Work Group (RF-IWG) • Forum for health/regulatory issues

  6. Laser Products • Harmonizing FDA requirements w/IEC Standard (960825-1 and 60601-2-22) • July 2001 guidance document • Conditions for use of IEC • Additional FDA requirements • FDA proposal on hold

  7. Computed Tomography • Reduction of CT radiation dose ~50% • Display and recording of dose • Exposure based on patient • Limiting field to reduce “over-beaming”

  8. Computed Tomography • Stakeholder interaction • 5/02 Nat’l Conf. on Radiation Control • 12/02 Radiological Device Panel • 2/03 Diag. Imaging Conf. on New Modalities and Radiation Safety • CT Dosimetry Task Group of AAPM

  9. Computed Tomography • Other FDA approaches • Recognition of the IEC CT standard • Voluntary declaration of conformity in PMAs • Develop manufacturer and review guidance

  10. Future Directions • Definition of roles/responsibilities • Assessment of CDRH current/future activities • Redirection of focus to medical ionizing • Mandatory vs. consensus standards

  11. Future Directions • Roles and responsibilities • Assess quality • Guidance, standards, product quality • Acquire and manage data • Educate and inform • Assess emerging technology

  12. Future Directions • Medical ionizing • Accelerators, CT, Fluoro, dental, mammography • Medical non-ionizing • PRK lasers, MRI, ultrasound, sunlamps • Non-medical ionizing • Cabinet x-ray, security screening, TV • Non-medical/non-ionizing • Cell phones, video display, microwave ovens

  13. Future Directions • New uses and emerging technology • New design and used of diagnostic x-ray equipment • New spiral scanning technology • Transition from analog to digital • Complex fluoro, digital imaging and CT x-ray systems • Use of ultra sound and diagnostic lasers for diagnosis and treatment of cancers

  14. Future Directions • Focus efforts on • Quality standards for performance and use • Understanding risks and benefits between dose levels and imaging performance • Partner in educating manufacturers and users of “dose intensive equipment technologies”
