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