WHEN IT APPLIES

Total product lifecycle (TPLC) is FDA’s framing that connects premarket review, manufacturing quality, and postmarket surveillance into one continuous safety/effectiveness story—especially visible in digital health and high-risk devices.

PROCESS / STEPS

  1. Plan premarket evidence with postmarket commitments in mind.
  2. Use real-world performance to refine risk controls and labeling.
  3. Feed complaints, MDRs, and recalls into design changes.
  4. Align cybersecurity and software updates with lifecycle risk management.

EXAMPLES

  • AI device predetermined change control plans embody TPLC thinking for iterative model updates.
