Is there a medical device manufacturing listserver out there that would be willing to share their interpretation of what the FDA term Life of Device means?
In a meeting yesterday a compliance consultant defined it as the requirement to retain all quality records from the time a device is first manufactured to the time the last product is introducted to the market. In our case we have manufactured a certain product for nearly 30 years.
I have interpreted it as the number of years the device is functional.
