ACTION: Notice.

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

    This notice announces a forthcoming meeting of a public advisory 
committee of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The meeting will 
be open to the public.
    Name of Committee: Radiological Devices Panel of the Medical 
Devices Advisory Committee.
    General Function of the Committee: To provide advice and 
recommendations to the Agency on FDA's regulatory issues.
    Date and Time: The meeting will be held on October 24, 2012, from 8 
a.m. to 6 p.m.
    Location: Hilton Washington DC North/Gaithersburg, Salons A, B, C, 
and D, 620 Perry Pkwy., Gaithersburg, MD 20877. The hotel's telephone 
number is 301-977-8900.
    Contact Person: Shanika Craig, Center for Devices and Radiological 
Health, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 
66, Rm. 1613, Silver Spring, MD 20993, [email protected], 301-
796-6639, or FDA Advisory Committee Information Line, 1-800-741-8138 
(301-443-0572 in the Washington, DC area), to find out further 
information regarding FDA advisory committee information. A notice in 
the Federal Register about last minute modifications that impact a 
previously announced advisory committee meeting cannot always be 
published quickly enough to provide timely notice. Therefore, you 
should always check the Agency's Web site at http://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/default.htm and scroll down to the appropriate 
advisory committee meeting link, or call the advisory committee 
information line to learn about possible modifications before coming to 
the meeting.
    Agenda: On October 24, 2012, the committee will discuss, make 
recommendations, and vote on a premarket approval application 
supplement to expand the indications for use of the Selenia Dimensions 
3D System with C-View Software Module, sponsored by Hologic, Inc.
    The Selenia Dimensions 3D System is currently approved for breast 
cancer screening and diagnosis. The screening exam can consist of field 
digital mammography (FFDM) alone or the combination of FFDM with 
digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT).
    The new C-View Software Module can generate synthetic 2D images 
from the DBT data. Hologic requests to expand the indications for use 
to allow the combination of DBT with synthetic 2D images to be used as 
another exam option for breast cancer screening.
    FDA intends to make background material available to the public no 
later than 2 business days before the meeting. If FDA is unable to post 
the background material on its Web site prior to the meeting, the 
background material will be made publicly available at the location of 
the advisory committee meeting, and the background material will be 
posted on FDA's Web site after the meeting. Background material is 
available at http://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/default.htm. Scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting 
link.
    Procedure: Interested persons may present data, information, or 
views, orally or in writing, on issues pending before the committee. 
Written submissions may be made to the contact person on or before 
October 15, 2012. Oral presentations from the public will be scheduled 
between approximately 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. Those individuals interested in 
making formal oral presentations should notify the contact person and 
submit a brief statement of the general nature of the evidence or 
arguments they wish to present, the names and addresses of proposed 
participants, and an indication of the approximate time requested to 
make their presentation on or before October 5, 2012. Time allotted for 
each presentation may be limited. If the number of registrants 
requesting to speak is greater than can be reasonably accommodated 
during the scheduled open public hearing session, FDA may conduct a 
lottery to determine the speakers for the scheduled open public hearing 
session. The contact person will notify interested persons regarding 
their request to speak by October 9, 2012.
    Persons attending FDA's advisory committee meetings are advised 
that the Agency is not responsible for providing access to electrical 
outlets.
