Draft Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff; Medical Devices; Neurological and Physical Medicine Device Guidance Documents; Availability

Краткое содержание

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of draft special controls guidance documents for 11 neurological and physical medicine devices. FDA has developed a draft special controls guidance document for each of the 11 devices. These draft guidance documents describe a means by which these devices may comply with the requirement of special controls for class II devices. Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, FDA is publishing a proposed rule that would designate special controls for each of these devices and would exempt six of them from the premarket notification requirements of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act). These draft guidance documents are not final nor are they in effect at this time.
