Summary: On January 28, 2015, the FDA issued a final order that required manufacturers of automated external defibrillators to submit premarket approval applications (PMAs) in order to market their products. This action requires a more rigorous review of these devices, which will ultimately help improve their reliability. In addition, the FDA will also require premarket approval for critical AED accessories, such as batteries and pad electrodes.

On February 5, 2015, the FDA will hold a webinar for AED and accessory manufacturers. The webinar is intended to help manufacturers fully understand the final order, including clarifying the requirements and the timelines provided in the order. Following a brief presentation, the FDA will respond to manufacturer’s questions regarding all requirements of the final order.
