Medical Devices; Availability of Summaries of Safety and
Effectiveness
AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is publishing a list of
premarket approval application (PMA) approvals. This list is intended
to inform the public of the existence and the availability of summaries
of safety and effectiveness of approved PMA's through the Internet and
the agency's Dockets Management Branch.
ADDRESSES: Summaries of safety and effectiveness are available on the
World Wide Web (WWW) at http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/pmapage.html. Copies of
summaries of safety and effectiveness are also available by
[[Page 33307]]
submitting a written request to the Dockets Management Branch (HFA-
305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061,
Rockville, MD 20852. Please cite the appropriate docket number as
listed in Table 1 in the Supplementary Information section of this
document, when submitting a written request.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy M. Poneleit, Center for Devices
and Radiological Health (HFZ-402), Food and Drug Administration, 9200
Corporate Blvd., Rockville, MD 20850, 301-594-2186.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
In the Federal Register of January 30, 1998 (63 FR 4571), FDA
published a final rule to revise Secs. 814.44(d) and 814.45(d) (21 CFR
814.44(d) and 814.45(d) to discontinue publication of individual PMA
approvals and denials in the Federal Register. Revised Secs. 814.44(d)
and 814.45(d) state that FDA will notify the public of PMA approvals
and denials by posting them on FDA's home page on the Internet (http://
www.fda.gov), by placing the summaries of safety and effectiveness on
the Internet and in FDA's Dockets Management Branch, and by publishing
in the Federal Register after each quarter a list of the PMA approvals
and denials announced in that quarter.
FDA believes that this procedure expedites public notification of
these actions because announcements can be placed on the Internet more
quickly than they can be published in the Federal Register, and FDA
believes that the Internet is accessible to more people than the
Federal Register.
In accordance with section 515(d)(3) of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 360e(d)(3)) notification of an order
approving, denying, or withdrawing approval of a PMA will continue to
include a notice of opportunity to request review of the order under
section 515(g) of the act. The 30-day period for requesting
reconsideration of an FDA action under Sec. 10.33(b) (21 CFR 10.33(b))
for notices announcing approval of a PMA begins on the day the notice
is placed on the Internet. Section 10.33(b) provides that FDA may, for
good cause, extend this 30-day period. Reconsideration of a denial or
withdrawal of approval of a PMA may be sought only by the applicant: in
these cases, the 30-day period will begin when the applicant is
notified by FDA in writing of its decision.
The following is a list of all PMA applications for which summaries
of safety and effectiveness were placed on the Internet in accordance
with the procedure as explained previously through March 31, 1999.
There were no denial actions during this period. The list provides the
manufacturer's name, the generic name or the trade name, and the
approval date.
