Title: Postmarket Safety Reporting for Combination Products 
Abstract: The proposed rule would clarify the postmarket safety reporting requirements for combination products (combinations of a drug, device, and/or biological product). The proposed rule would provide a framework for the reporting of adverse events for combination products. The proposed rule would clarify that a combination product is subject primarily to the reporting requirements associated with the type of marketing application under which the product is approved or cleared. In addition, the proposed rule identifies unique reporting provisions that must be complied with if applicable. The regulation would ensure the consistency and appropriateness of postmarket safety reporting for combination products while avoiding the need for duplicative reporting requirements.
