Admins can now configure FDA MedWatch 3500A forms to export International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF) device codes instead of FDA device codes. The FDA is fully harmonized with IMDRF, and this change supports compliance with that regulatory push by the agency. For more information, see FDA Report Formats.
