Medical Devices; Needle-Bearing Devices; Withdrawal of Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

Resumo

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the withdrawal of an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) concerning needle-bearing devices. FDA is concerned about the significant health risk posed by needlestick and other percutaneous injuries but FDA believes that the actions it has taken and continues to take along with the actions taken by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) are addressing the issue adequately at this time.
