Action needed

Ask the safety/device vigilance and PV CSV leads to: (1) confirm whether any marketed/fielded SaMD/AIaMD uses adaptive ML or planned updates that would fit a PCCP-like approach; (2) review current change-control SOPs and technical documentation to ensure change governance and transparency artifacts are captured and retrievable; (3) verify post-market/vigilance processes explicitly account for algorithm updates (e.g., monitoring after updates, escalation criteria).

1) Inventory AI use cases that could feed regulated decisions (including PV/safety-related analyses or summaries used in regulatory interactions) and map owners/vendors. 2) For each AI use case, document context of use, intended outputs, and controls (e.g., review/approval, traceability, change management) aligned to a draft-guidance tracking plan. 3) Track the Federal Register notice and plan whether to submit comments within the window described by FDA (90 days after Federal Register publication).
