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.

recommendations, and vote on information regarding the humanitarian 
device exemption (HDE) application for the XVIVO Perfusion System 
(XPS\TM\) sponsored by XVIVO Perfusion, Inc. The proposed Indication 
for Use for the XVIVO Perfusion System, as stated in the HDE, is as 
follows:
    The XPS\TM\ is intended to be used with STEEN Solution for flushing 
and temporary continuous normothermic machine perfusion of initially 
unacceptable excised donor lungs during which time the function of the 
lungs can be reassessed for transplantation.
    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
