SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

September 2007, the Congress passed 

Title III of the FDA Amendments Act, 

called the Pediatric Medical Device 

Safety and Improvement Act. The 

legislation requires that the DHHS 

Secretary submit a plan to Congress for 

expanding pediatric medical device 

research and development. In 

developing the plan, the DHHS 

Secretary shall consult with individuals 

and organizations with appropriate 

expertise in pediatric medical devices. 

The plan shall include the current status 

of federally funded pediatric medical 

device research; any gaps in such 

research, which may include a survey of 

pediatric medical providers regarding 

unmet pediatric medical device needs, 

as needed; and a research agenda for 

improving pediatric medical device 

development and Food and Drug 

Administration clearance or approval of 

pediatric medical devices, and 

evaluating the short- and long-term 

safety and effectiveness of pediatric 

medical devices. 

This meeting of the Interagency 

Pediatric Devices Working Group, 

which includes AHRQ, FDA, and NIH, 

seeks to elicit feedback about expanding 

pediatric device research and 

development from interested 

communities and the public to help 

inform the plan that the DHHS Secretary 

will submit in accordance with the 

legislation. 

The purpose of this workshop is to: 

• Inform the community of the 

current status of pediatric device 

development; 

• Describe available mechanisms for 

device product registration; 

• Describe available mechanisms for 

pediatric device project funding; 

• Understand what stakeholders see 

to be important areas of study; 

• Determine gaps in knowledge and 

where the needs for research are; and 

• Discuss ways to gather the 

information needed to move ahead, 

such as overcoming barriers, handling 

logistics, determining classes of devices 

to study, and identifying available 

databases, registries, surveillance 

systems.
