Device Interventions
Device intervention records extend the shared intervention form with device-specific regulatory, scientific, storage, and handling fields.
Form shape
Device interventions use the shared intervention shell plus four additional sections.
| Section | Fields |
|---|---|
| Basics | Name, Type, Sponsors, Description |
| Identifiers | Identifiers |
| Regulatory | FDA Device Classification, EU MDR Risk Class, SaMD Risk Level, Unapproved/Investigational Device |
| Science | Manufacturer, Intended Use, Implantable Device, Software/SaMD, Sterile Device, Combination Product, Active Device, Single-Use Device |
| Storage | Storage Category, Regulatory Reference, Min Temp, Max Temp, Target Temp, Temp. Unit, Light Sensitivity, Container Type, Shelf Life, Shelf Life Unit, Do Not Freeze, Do Not Refrigerate, Desiccant Required |
| Handling | Cold Chain Monitoring, Special Handling Requirements, Additional Handling Notes, Cold Chain Required, Validated Shipper Required |
What is specific to device interventions
Device records combine regulatory classification with technical product characteristics.
| Section | Label | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Regulatory | FDA Device Classification | Captures FDA class I, II, or III framing |
| Regulatory | EU MDR Risk Class | Captures EU device risk class |
| Regulatory | SaMD Risk Level | Captures IMDRF software risk category when relevant |
| Regulatory | Unapproved/Investigational Device | Flags IDE-style investigational status |
| Science | Manufacturer | Ties the device to the responsible organization |
| Science | Intended Use | Explains intended clinical use and scope |
| Science | Implantable Device | Flags implant risk and follow-up implications |
| Science | Software/SaMD | Flags software-driven devices |
| Science | Sterile Device | Captures sterility expectations |
| Science | Combination Product | Flags device-plus-drug or biologic combinations |
| Science | Active Device | Flags energy-dependent devices |
| Science | Single-Use Device | Captures reuse expectations |
