Deviations, Devices, and Drugs: A Regulatory Roadmap for Human Tissue Reporting (Individual)

The tissue banking industry is undergoing an “era of opportunity” as the need for supplying the medical field with a variety of regenerative medicine solutions increases. As the regulatory paradigm has evolved, so have days of tissue banks marketing products exclusively regulated as Section 361 Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Products. In a regulatory world where tissue may be regulated as a Section 361 HCT/P, as a Section 351 HCT/P, or even as a medical device, the requirements for reporting adverse outcomes have never been more confusing to new and existing players in this emerging regulatory space for industry. Join John Mayhall, the Mayor of Regulationville, and Kip Hanks, AATB Director of Regulatory and Governmental Affairs, as we navigate the many regulatory pathways and requirements for human tissue product adverse outcomes reporting.
