Information Line, 1-800-741-8138 (301-443-0572) in the Washington, DC 
area). 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 website at https://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 the 
meeting.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Agenda: The meeting presentations will be heard, viewed, captioned, 
and recorded through an online teleconferencing platform. On November 
7, 2023, the committee will discuss and make recommendations on the 
classification of blood irradiator devices for the prevention of 
metastasis, which are currently unclassified pre-amendments devices, to 
class III (general controls and premarket approval).
    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 website prior to the meeting, the 
background material will be made publicly available on FDA's website at 
the time of the advisory committee meeting, and the background material 
will be posted on FDA's website after the meeting. Background material 
and the link to the online teleconference meeting room will be 
available at https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/default.htm. Scroll down and select the appropriate advisory committee 
meeting link. The meeting will include slide presentations with audio 
components to allow the presentation of materials in a manner that most 
closely resembles an in-person advisory committee meeting.
    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 25, 2023. Oral presentations from the public will be scheduled 
on November 7, 2023, between approximately 9:20 a.m. and 10:20 a.m. 
eastern time. 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 17, 2023. 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 
18, 2023.
