SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA has developed this draft guidance to propose select updates to 
the FDA guidance document ``Peripheral Vascular Atherectomy Devices--
Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions.'' The existing guidance on 
atherectomy devices remains in effect, in its current form, until this 
draft guidance is finalized. FDA intends to incorporate this draft 
guidance into one final guidance document after obtaining and 
considering public comment on these select updates. FDA does not intend 
to substantively change the sections of the existing atherectomy 
guidance that are not affected by this select update.

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    This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good 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 The draft guidance, when 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 ``Select 
Updates for Peripheral Vascular Atherectomy Devices--Premarket 
Notification (510(k)) Submissions.'' 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.
