US and international organizations took rapid action in efforts to diagnose and treat COVID-19. This unprecedented era of innovation was aided by the FDA’s Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) which removed significant regulatory hurdles on the pathway to commercialization. As this chapter comes to a close, the need for novel medical solutions is not waning. How can medical innovators rapidly accelerate the design process without the benefit of an EUA? Current standard practice is based on a 30-year-old announcement by the FDA. This discussion will provide tools to accelerate medical innovation within the current framework of design while also serving as a call to action for a new guidance document relevant to the current medical innovation ecosystem.
