Title: Banned Devices; Electrical Stimulation Devices Intended for Self-Injurious Behavior or Aggressive Behavior 
Abstract:

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to ban electrical stimulation devices (ESDs) intended for self-injurious behavior (SIB) or aggressive behavior (AB). FDA finalized a ban on these devices in 2020, but the D.C. Circuit vacated the final rule in 2021. FDA previously determined that the use of ESDs for SIB and AB presents an unreasonable and substantial risk of illness or injury and that the risks associated with ESDs for these intended uses cannot be corrected or eliminated by labeling. Now that Congress has removed the statutory basis for the D.C. Circuit’s ruling, FDA intends to assess any new data or information and, if it makes this same determination again, issue a new proposed rule to ban these devices.
