Title: Assignment of Agency Component for Review of Premarket Applctns 
Abstract: The Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990 (SMDA), enacted November 28, 1990, was intended to assure marketed devices are safe and effective, FDA learns quickly of device problems, and has authority to remove defective devices from the market.

Medical Device Tracking--This regulation requires manufacturers to track certain devices to the user.

FDA will now propose to keep each device in class III, or reclassify it in class I or II. Good Manufacturing Practices for Medical Devices--FDA proposed to add preproduction design validation in existing CGMP regulations. Exemption of Humanitarian Devices--The proposed rule gives procedures for applications for certain premarket review exemptions for humanitarian devices. ^PSummaries of Safety and Effectiveness for Premarket Notification--The final rule sets forth information to be included in data summaries on which substantial equivalence determinations are made. Recall of Medical Devices--A proposed rule sets forth procedures for using its authority to order device recalls and notifications. Reports of Removal and Corrections--FDA proposed procedures for manufacturers to report to FDA health-related market removals and corrections of devices. Civil Money Penalties--A final rule established procedures for a hearing to which persons are entitled before the imposition of civil money penalties. Procedural Changes in Medical Device Regulations--This final rule made revisions in regulations necessary because of procedural changes made by the SMDA. Premarket Review of Combination Products--FDA published a final rule establishing procedures for determining which FDA center will review premarket approval applications for products that are a combination of a device and a drug or biologic.
