Medical Devices; Exemptions From Premarket Notification; Class II Devices

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is publishing a notice announcing that it has received a petition requesting exemption from the premarket notification requirements for the F-Spoon device, a manual compression device that allows a radiologist to press on the abdomen during a fluoroscopic procedure without exposing his or her hand to the x-ray beam. The device is classified as an accessory to the image-intensified fluoroscopic x-ray system. FDA intends to expand the exemption to other fluoroscopic compression devices such as other types of spoons and compression paddles. FDA is publishing this notice in order to obtain comments on this petition in accordance with procedures established by the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 (FDAMA).
