The European Commission (EC) has proposed updates to rules regarding product liability, one of which is an update to strict liability policy for pharmaceuticals (and presumably medical devices) that would expand the term of liability to 15 years. The proposal for artificial intelligence (AI) liability would up the ante on transparency into these algorithms, and the combination of the two novel policies would suggest that life science companies may face a more uniform, but potentially more hazardous legal landscape in the EU should these proposals be adopted.
A review of Australia’s National Medicines Policy was begun in August 2021 but was paused until after the federal election in May to allow stakeholders more time to provide feedback.

The U.S. Congress has reauthorized several user fee programs at the FDA, and the agency has published the user fee levels for several product types, with most of those fees increasing significantly, an example of which is the increase for new drug applications (NDAs) requiring clinical data from $3.12 million to $3.24 million. Fees for medical device premarket approval (PMA) filings will jump from $375,000 to $442,000, including some hefty adjustments for persistent inflation, a problem that may plague the user fee schedules for fiscal 2024 as well.
The U.S. FDA’s device center recently advised companies that make tests for the COVID-19 pandemic that the emergency use authorization program for tests is winding down, albeit with a few exceptions.
Brain MRIs can reveal a great deal about brain tumors, but tracking response to treatment, clearly delineating edges and identifying other critical information remain problematic. Neosoma Inc.’s recently granted FDA 510(k) clearance may simplify treatment of the most challenging of these tumors, high-grade gliomas. The Neosoma High-Grade Glioma (HGG) neuro-oncology software device uses artificial intelligence to provide detailed measurements and 3D analysis that enable greater precision in procedures and better monitoring.
