Pre-production brief
| Field | Definition |
|---|---|
| Reader | Product owner preparing a post-clearance review-point packet for one product signal. |
| Trigger | A complaint, supplier issue, competitor signal, recall record, adverse-event narrative, warning letter, or customer question needs triage. |
| Blocked decision | The team has a signal but not a source-backed packet showing what needs review next. |
| Useful output | A post-clearance review-point packet with public checks, internal prompts, owners, and open decisions. |
What the packet should include
- The exact trigger, date found, product version, owner, and market scope.
- Public FDA adverse-event, recall, warning-letter, and device-record checks where relevant.
- Internal quality-system prompts for complaint, risk, supplier, service, labelling, corrective-action, and management-review records.
- Source limits for each public source and internal record category.
- Owner decisions for Quality Assurance, Regulatory Affairs, complaint handling, clinical, legal, operations, and leadership.
- A next-review date and escalation rule if new public or internal evidence appears.
What the packet cannot decide
The packet cannot decide complaint reportability, recall scope, field action, corrective action, compliance status, safety, effectiveness, labelling acceptability, or continued market acceptability.
It keeps the signal from becoming either ignored noise or an unsupported conclusion. The goal is a review-ready packet for qualified owners.

Frequently asked questions
Does a post-clearance review-point packet decide reportability?
No. It collects the trigger, sources, owner prompts, and open questions so qualified reviewers can evaluate reportability and related decisions.
Why include FDA public sources after clearance?
Public sources can provide context and prompts, but they do not determine causation, recall scope, compliance, safety, or corrective action for your device.
What is the useful output for a product owner?
A dated packet showing the trigger, product scope, public checks, internal prompts, owners, source limits, and decisions that need review.
Need a post-clearance review packet before the next owner meeting?
TrueMedDevice can organize the trigger, public-source checks, internal record prompts, source limits, owners, and open decisions.
