# FDA Report Formats

Vault supports compliant generation and submission of multiple FDA-specific formats, including:

* <a href="/en/gr/01223/">FDA MedWatch 3500A (August 2024 Version)</a>
* <a href="/en/gr/802648/">FDA MedWatch 3500A (October 2015 Version)</a>
* <a href="/en/gr/936141/">FDA eMDR</a>
* <a href="/en/gr/725757/">FDA E2B(R3)</a>
* <a href="/en/gr/700006/">FDA VAERS E2B(R3)</a>
* <a href="/en/gr/700010/">FDA E2B(R2)</a>

## FDA MedWatch 3500A Data Mapping Considerations {#data-mapping}

When generating FDA MedWatch 3500A forms, Vault populates certain data as follows:

* For coded events, diagnoses, indications, test names, and medical conditions, Vault populates the MedDRA Lowest Level Term (LLT). Otherwise, Vault populates the reported term.

<div class="note-border alert-info">
  <div class="alert alert-info" role="alert">
    <div><i class="far fa-info-circle"></i></div>
    <div class="alert-text">
      <p><strong>Note</strong>: Your Admin can <a href="/en/gr/01426/">configure your Vault</a> to populate the MedDRA Preferred Term (PT), instead of the LLT, for adverse events.</p>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>


* Dates appear in `dd-mmm-yyyy` format. Blank dates appear as dashes (-\-\-).
* Certain fields may be <a href="/en/gr/01225/">masked</a>, depending on the blinding settings on the _Case_ or masking settings on the _Distribution_.
* Depending on your Admin's configuration, open-label _Products_ within blinded _Studies_ may be <a href="/en/gr/01406/">unmasked</a>. 
* When populating section C, Vault exports up to 20 suspect _Case Products_ and 20 concomitant _Case Products_ based on _Rank_. When _Rank_ is blank, Vault uses the following priority order:
    1. The earliest-created _Company Products_
    2. The earliest-created _External Products_

<div class="note-border alert-info">
  <div class="alert alert-info" role="alert">
    <div><i class="far fa-info-circle"></i></div>
    <div class="alert-text">
      <p><strong>Note</strong>: For FDA eMDR files, Vault exports up to 20 <em>Case Products</em>.</p>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>


* <a id ="unknown-formulation-products"></a>If a _Case_ includes a _Company Product_ with an <a href="/en/gr/01215/#unknown-formulation-products">unknown formulation</a>, Vault determines the form sections to map to based on the _Product Registrations_ within the _Product Family_:
   * If all _Registrations_ have a _Registered As_ value of _Drug_, Vault considers the unknown formulation _Product_ a drug and maps to section C.
   * If all _Registrations_ have a _Registered As_ value of _Device_, Vault considers the unknown formulation _Product_ a device and maps to section D.
   * If _Registrations_ have differing _Registered As_ values, Vault maps to section C.
* Vault maps _Case Products_ with an <a href="/en/gr/01169/#drug-roles-considered">eligible _Drug Role_</a> to form sections as follows:
    * **C. Suspect Products**:
        * Company _Products_ if the _Product Type_ is not _Device_ or _OTC Device_
        * _Study Products_ if the _Product Type_ is not _Device_
        * _External Products_ if the _Product Type_ is not _Device_
    * **D. Suspect Medical Device** and **H. Device Manufacturers Only**:
        * Company _Products_ if the _Product Type_ is _Device_ or _OTC Device_
        * _Study Products_ if the _Product Type_ is _Device_
        * _External Products_ if the _Product Type_ is _Device_

### August 2024 Version Device Data Mapping {#device-products}

When generating the <a href="/en/gr/01223/">August 2024 version</a> of the form:

* If the <a href="/en/gr/1022564/#case-product">_Case Product_ on the _Transmission_</a> is a device, Vault exports data for that product to sections D and H. If the _Case_ includes any other devices, Vault exports each to separate FDA MedWatch 3500A forms.
    * For section G, if the _Case_ is for a clinical trial _Study_, Vault populates fields G.4 and G.5 using the following priority:
        1. The Investigational New Drug (IND) _Study Registrations_ with the FDA. If multiple IND registrations exist, Vault populates information from the earliest-created _Study Registration_.
        2. The _Product Registration_ related to the _Case Product_ on the _Transmission_. 
* If the _Case Product_ on the _Transmission_ is blank:
    * Vault populates the device _Case Product_ with the highest rank in section D, and populates section D information for all other devices in the overflow pages. If _Case Products_ are not ranked, Vault populates the earliest-created device _Case Product_ in section D.
    * For _Cases_ with _Combination Products_ that have multiple device constituents:
        * Vault populates the device constituent _Case Product_ with the highest rank in section D, and populates section D information for all other device constituents in the overflow pages. If _Case Products_ are not ranked, Vault populates the earliest-created device constituent _Case Product_ in section D.
        * Vault considers all device constituents when populating section H.
