The Voluntary Improvement Program (VIP) helps device makers design, build and deliver safer products to patients, faster. Developed in collaboration with FDA, MDIC, ISACA and the medical device industry as part of FDA’s case for quality initiative, this program identifies process inefficiencies and helps device makers implement best practices that accelerate medical device improvements. Participant outcomes include increased speed to market, improved production capacity, reduced regulatory burden & more. Participants benefit from FDA flexibilities to help accelerate improvements to device quality and manufacturing detailed in FDA Guidance “Fostering Medical Device Improvement: FDA Activities and Engagement with the Voluntary Improvement Program”.
