    Does anyone have any experience with FDA of submitting parallel (not serial) 180-Day PMA supplements - one for a manufacturing site transfer and the other for a device design change?

    This may depend on the OHT, but this was common in our field. I have done this multiple times and seen in the approval database that competitors also did so. As long as the risk of one doesn't have an effect on the other, you should be able to make a good argument that they can be reviewed independently and in parallel.

    I am interested to know did you proceed with two separate supplements and why did you not combine them (I am assuming the design change was implemented at the new manufacturing site)?

    Kind regards.
