    Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Health Canada, and the United Kingdom’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) jointly issued the “Transparency for Machine Learning-Enabled Medical Devices: Guiding Principles.” For a machine learning-enabled medical device, effective transparency ensures that information that could impact risks and patient outcomes is communicated to all the people who could be interacting with the device, including health care providers, payors, and others, to help make informed decisions. The Transparency for Machine Learning-Enabled Medical Devices: Guiding Principles build upon the "Good Machine Learning Practice (GMLP) for Medical Device Development: Guiding Principles" and the "Predetermined Change Control Plans for Machine Learning-Enabled Medical Devices: Guiding Principles" both published jointly by the FDA, Health Canada and MHRA. Transparency across health care is an international priority, and the FDA will continue to collaborate with international partners in this area. https://lnkd.in/dK-X6-Zw https://lnkd.in/ejqWRmV3

    CDER’s collaboration with global regulators on pharmaceutical quality and inspections has resulted in the approval of new manufacturing and quality control sites for five different medicines. The efforts also resulted in three hybrid inspections where one regulator was on-site and others participated remotely. A full report on the findings of these efforts will be published by the International Coalition of Medicines Regulatory Authorities (ICMRA) in the coming months. For more information on how our collaboration with global regulators benefits patients and consumers in the U.S. and worldwide read our From Our Perspective: https://lnkd.in/e4wtjkY7
