FDA has updated the *Catalog of Regulatory Science Tools to Help Assess New Medical Devices* by adding four new tools and updating nine tools. The [catalog](https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/science-and-research-medical-devices/catalog-regulatory-science-tools-help-assess-new-medical-devices?utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fsource=govdelivery) provides a peer-reviewed resource for medical device companies to use where standards and qualified medical device development tools (MDDTs) do not yet exist, FDA says. The tools don’t replace FDA-recognized standards or MDDTs.

The catalog collates a variety of regulatory science tools that the CDRH Office of Science and Engineering Labs developed and plans to expand as new tools become available, the agency says.
