Abstract: This ICR collects information from medical device manufacturers, importers, and user facilities that are required to submit electronic and paper medical device reports (MDRs) to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and to maintain records, and who may also seek exemption from these requirements. The information that is obtained from these reports will be used to evaluate risks associated with medical devices and enable FDA to take appropriate regulatory measures to protect the public health. Complete, accurate, and timely adverse event information is necessary for the identification of emerging device problems so the Agency can protect the public health under the FD&C Act.

Short Statement: Since the last extension of this information collection, approved in 2021, we have updated the supporting statement to include an approved revision (2022) which reflects reporting requirements for certain Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) serological diagnostic and supplemental tests (at 21 CFR 866.3956) and for HIV nucleic acid tests (NATs) diagnostic and supplemental tests (at 21 CFR 866.3957). Additionally, we have included burden attributable to provisions set forth in 21 CFR part 4 subpart B, as approved in March 2023 (via nonsubstantive change request), which were previously accounted for in OMB control number 0910-0834 (now discontinued) and are included in the burden estimates above. We also adjusted the Average Burden per Response for “Exemptions—803.19” and “Importer Reporting, Death and Serious Injury--803.40 and 803.42” from 0.1 hour to 1 hour to correct an error introduced in a previous request for extension of this information collection. These adjustments have resulted in an overall increase of 1,527,443 total responses, and a corresponding increase of 323,806 total burden hours. We are revising this information collection to add the FDA guidance entitled “Voluntary Malfunction Summary Reporting (VMSR) Program for Manufacturers” which is intended to help manufacturers better understand and use the VMSR Program. The guidance does not affect the burden estimates.
