Medical Devices; Availability of Safety and Effectiveness 
Summaries for Premarket Approval Applications

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is publishing a list of 
premarket approval applications (PMAs) that have been approved. This

agency's Division of Dockets Management.

ADDRESSES: Submit written requests for copies of summaries of safety 
and effectiveness data to the Division of Dockets Management (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 of this document when submitting a written request. See the 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for electronic access to the 
summaries of safety and effectiveness.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nicole Wolanski, Center for Devices 
and Radiological Health (HFZ-402), Food and Drug Administration, 9200

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In the Federal Register of January 30, 1998 (63 FR 4571), FDA 
published a final rule that revised 21 CFR 814.44(d) and 814.45(d) to 
discontinue individual publication of PMA approvals and denials in the 
Federal Register. Instead,

[[Page 6643]]

the agency now posts this information on the Internet on FDA's home 
page at http://www.fda.gov. 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)(4) and (e)(2) of the Federal 
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 360e(d)(4) and 
(e)(2)), 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 regulations provide that FDA publish a quarterly list of 
available safety and effectiveness summaries of PMA approvals and 
denials that were announced during that quarter. The following is a 
list of approved PMAs for which summaries of safety and effectiveness 
were placed on the Internet from July 1, 2008, through September 30, 
2008. There were no denial actions during this period. The list 
provides the manufacturer's name, the product's generic name or the 
trade name, and the approval date.
