Imagine. A class of products with no FDA inspections, approvals or chance of being pulled from the market by the agency.

The FDA has decided that it will NOT regulate a class of low-risk products it calls general wellness products.

This boon to the industry will allow your plans for some devices and apps to move forward much more quickly … without the burden of regulation.

There's just one snag. Exactly what is the FDA's definition of general wellness?

You'll learn the answer to this question (and others) at FDAnews' Feb. 25 webinar General Wellness Products: How to Make the FDA’s New Rules Work for You.

This new product category creates enormous opportunities for manufacturers. And the idea that you can tailor your products to be part of an unregulated classification is an exciting one. Nonetheless, there still are some rules you must follow.

In this session, regulatory expert Frederick Stearns will explain what the new general wellness rules mean and what you will need to do to make sure your devices and apps qualify for this new category.

Rest assured, though, you will come away from the webinar understanding how to get your devices and apps on the market without having to deal with FDA clearance or approval. Specifically, you'll learn:

• How to be sure your product's health claims are considered wellness claims, not treatment claims that will run afoul of the FDA’s rules.
• How to make your device satisfy FDA criteria for low-risk treatment
• 10 health claims you can make without triggering an FDA review
• 6 specific claims that the FDA guarantees will cause you problems
• The agency’s 5-step test to determine whether your device falls under the FDA’s general wellness exemptions

There's no time like NOW to learn all the ins-and-outs of the new FDA guidance about general wellness products. Sign Up TODAY for this timely webinar, General Wellness Products: How to Make the FDA’s New Rules Work for You.
