Title: Medical Devices; Anesthesiology Devices; Proposed Reclassification of Pressure Regulators for Use With Medical Oxygen | |
Abstract: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to reclassify pressure regulators for use with medical oxygen from class I to class II and to establish a special control for oxygen pressure regulators to address problems of fire and explosion associated with use of these devices. The special control will be a guidance document that includes standardized testing, performance, and labeling guidance for industry. Devices that meet the special control will be exempt from the premarket notification requirements of the Act. The agency believes it is taking a least burdensome approach for industry. This proposed rule will phase-in a compliance approach that will minimize the cost. FDA seeks to reclassify these devices under section 513(e)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360c(e)(1)). | |
