Transfer of Regulatory Responsibility From the Center for Devices and Radiological Health to the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research; Medical Maggots and Medicinal Leeches

Streszczenie

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the transfer of regulatory responsibility for medical maggots and medicinal leeches to the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER). These products are currently regulated by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH). FDA is transferring regulatory responsibility of these products to CBER because these products are living organisms that more closely align with products regulated by CBER. This action affects only Center assignment and does not change requirements applicable to these products.
