SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The FDA is issuing this draft guidance to clarify the FDA's 
recommendations for testing and information to include in 510(k) 
submissions for PTA catheters and specialty catheters to promote 
consistency across submissions. These devices are catheter-based 
devices intended to treat lesions in the peripheral vasculature. This 
draft guidance expands on the FDA's current thinking for testing of PTA 
balloon catheters and specialty catheters (e.g., infusion catheters, 
PTA balloon catheters for ISR, scoring/cutting balloons), and provides 
specific recommendations regarding performance testing and anatomy-
specific assessments. This document supplements other FDA documents 
regarding the specific content requirements of premarket submissions.

II. Significance of Guidance

    This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good 
guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when 
finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on ``Peripheral 
Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) and Specialty Catheters--
Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions; Draft Guidance for 
Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff.'' It does not 
establish any rights for any person and is not binding on FDA or the 
public. You can use an alternative approach if it satisfies the 
requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations.

III. Electronic Access

    Persons interested in obtaining a copy of the draft guidance may do 
so by downloading an electronic copy from the internet. A search 
capability for all Center for Devices and Radiological Health guidance 
documents is available at https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/GuidanceDocuments/default.htm. This 
guidance document is also available at https://www.regulations.gov. 
Persons unable to download an electronic copy of ``Peripheral 
Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) and Specialty Catheters--
Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions; Draft Guidance for 
Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff'' may send an email 
request to [email protected] to receive an electronic copy of 
the document. Please use the document number 16018 and complete title
