The OFR updates the material in the e-CFR on a daily basis. The hierarchy files above contain the set of codes, terms, definitions, and relationships for the four harmonized code sets. The hierarchy for Device Problem Code will also have maintenance updates, including new terms.The final step in this process will take place on September 7, 2020, when the FDA will harmonize with the remaining IMDRF code sets (Health Effect Clinical Code, Health Effect Impact Code, and Medical Device Component Code). This page contains a comprehensive set of resources for reporters to use when selecting event codes in an MDR.The FDA MDR adverse event codes are divided into six code types. In addition to harmonizing the FDA Patient Problem Code and Device Component Code sets with IMDRF, the FDA will accept IMDRF, FDA, and NCIt codes through the eMDR system. They also contain the mapping between the FDA, NClt, and IMDRF codes in each set. It is divided into 50 titles that represent broad areas subject to Federal regulation.Most of FDA's medical device and radiation-emitting product regulations are in Title 21 CFR The Electronic Code of Federal Regulations (e-CFR) is a currently updated version of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).

The e-CFR is an unofficial editorial compilation of CFR material and Federal Register amendments produced by the National Archives and Records Administration's Office of the Federal Register (OFR) and the Government Printing Office. In order to respond to the evolution of device technology, classification product codes were created to assist in accurate identification and tracking of current medical devices and to allow for trac… MDR Adverse Event Codes

Overview of Device Regulation Note that Device Component Code will be contained in a separate field in eMDR and eSubmitter and component codes will no longer be accepted in the Device Problem Code or Manufacturer Evaluation Result (Investigation Findings) Code fields. The table below contains a link to the hierarchy for each code type, which lists all active codes of that type and their relationships.Reporters should read and familiarize themselves with the hierarchies above before filing an MDR.The FDA is in the process of harmonizing the FDA adverse event coding system with the new International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF) Adverse Event Reporting terminologies, a new international guideline for coding medical device adverse events.As the first step in this process, the FDA updated four of its code sets (Device Problem Code, Manufacturer Evaluation Method Code, Manufacturer Evaluation Result Code, and Manufacturer Evaluation Conclusion Code) to have a one-to-one matching with the first four code sets from IMDRF on July 5, 2018. Most of FDA's medical device and radiation-emitting product regulations are in Title 21 CFR Parts 800-1299. The hierarchy for Device Problem Code will also have maintenance updates, including new terms.The hierarchy files below contain the new set of codes, terms, definitions, and relationships for the three newly-harmonized code sets.
