West Metro Hennepin County to terminate diversion program contract with Operation de Novo The move likely will force Operation de Novo to shut down permanently, after 46 years of offering programs for offenders to complete to avoid a criminal charge or get it dismissed.

By Randy Furst. The Hennepin County felony program would be its largest program in Minnesota. Cost and quality A federal report repeatedly cited Operation de Novo as a national model for diversion programs. More from Star Tribune. Vikings Souhan: 7 deadly sins?

Diversion guidelines. Specifically, to allow the alternate pathway that does not require the submission of a k prior to the de novo request.

Again, the time frame for review was established for FDA days. We now describe the decision options for a de novo. We either grant the de novo, or decline the de novo.

The guidance describes and goes into some detail of the pre-submission meeting process and we introduce a new term. Let's go through the de novo submission process. So for Pathway 1, we start with the k de novo. The best means to use this is when you believe you have a suitable predicate for your device.

You have a new device, you believe you have a viable predicate, so this is the option to consider using. The first step is that you submit your k submission.

Keep in mind, this should be a comprehensive, complete k submission. This is where you are doing your best job to demonstrate Substantial Equivalence to the predicate device you believe is appropriate for your new device.

The next step is that FDA reviews your k submission. By lack of a predicate, what we mean is that the proposed predicate device that you proposed does not have the same intended use and technological characteristics as your new device. This is based on the risk-benefit profile, not the adequacy of the evidence or data that you submitted in your k.

The suggestion for de novo is not binding by FDA, and conversely, if we don't include this suggestion in your NSE letter, you still have the opportunity to pursue a de novo if you believe you qualify. Once you received an NSE, you then may follow up with the de novo application. It would be important to reference the prior k submission that you submitted prior to this de novo. In this de novo application, you would also provide additional evidence to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of your new device as appropriate.

Importantly, if there are any differences between the k device and that of the de novo, you would want to characterize those differences in evidence gaps that may warrant additional testing and safety and effectiveness information to support your de novo. Within your de novo application, there are several key things you will also be doing regarding characterizing the device and the risk to health.

The first step is to characterize the risk to health associated with the use of the new device. Then characterize how those risks may be mitigated. I referred to special controls earlier in this presentation. Finally, FDA will then review the de novo application. During the review, we may interact with you and ask for additional information to clarify your device and perhaps additional testing. We will either grant the De novo or decline the de novo. This is Pathway - k , then de novo. Now you have another option, Pathway 2, the direct de novo.

When to use this makes most sense if you believe you don't have a suitable predicate device, either through your own evaluation or assessment, or through FDA feedback, and you believe the device may be classified into Class I or Class II, per the de novo process.

Again, direct de novo is characterizing this. So in this case, the first step is that you submit your de novo application. In this application, you would provide the evidence that establishes reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of the new device. Step two is that FDA reviews the application and again, we either grant the de novo or decline it. This elaborate flow chart is included in the draft guidance, the draft de novo guidance, and it illustrates the new proposed pathway for the de novo.

I referred to it earlier, getting feedback from the FDA. This is a very important slide. I encourage you to take into consideration that we strongly encourage that you use the pre-submission program if you have a de novo candidate.

Importantly, it would be appropriate to use this after you finalize and establish your device design and intended use. The reason for this is that both of those factors may influence whether or not your product is de novo eligible.

In addition, it would be strongly encouraged to meet after your submission information has been collected regarding the safety and effectiveness of your device, because you will better establish a test method for your product.

Again, if you have a novel device with no FDA regulatory history, based on your research, again, this is a good de novo candidate. This is a good reason to have a pre-submission meeting with the FDA to get some feedback.

The pre-submission program guidance is referred to here in this link. So after the de novo process, what happens after a de novo is granted? Well several things occur. So first, the new device is now legally marketed.

It's subject to all of the appropriate post-market requirements that are applicable to that device and class, including general controls and special controls if they were enacted and applicable to that device. In addition, that new device will establish a new classification regulation. That new device is then eligible to serve as a predicate for future similar devices, which would then follow the standard k process.

FDA does several things, as well. First, we will publish an order that announces the new classification and controls, and in addition, we will generate a decision summary that is publicly available. Now, for those familiar with PMA, this is somewhat similar to the summary of safety and effectiveness data that is available after a PMA is approved.

You will not enter any type of plea, as you are not pleading guilty. You also will be waiving your right to a speedy trial. However, you will not be waiving your right to a trial. If your case comes back in front of the judge, you can still have a trial and the burden of proof is still on the prosecution to prove your case beyond a reasonable doubt. Operation de novo is a great option if you qualify. This will help many individuals from having a criminal record with a felony on it.

A felony makes it very difficult to get employment and obtain housing. You also will be able to get an expungement after the case is dismissed against you. This will seal any charges and arrest records against you.
