ACTION: Notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is adding noncompression heart stabilizers to the list of critical reprocessed single-use devices (SUDs) whose exemption from premarket notification requirements has been terminated and for which validation data, as specified under the Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act of 2002 (MDUFMA), are necessary in a premarket notification (510(k)). The agency is also adding laparoscopic and endoscopic electrosurgical accessories to the list of reprocessed SUDs currently subject to premarket notification requirements that will now require submission of supplemental validation data. FDA is requiring submission of these data to ensure that reprocessed single-use noncompression heart stabilizers and laparoscopic and endoscopic electrosurgical accessories are substantially equivalent to predicate devices, in accordance with MDUFMA. DATES: These actions are effective September 29, 2005. Manufacturers of reprocessed single-use noncompression heart stabilizers must submit 510(k)s for these devices by December 29, 2006, or their devices may no longer be legally marketed. Manufacturers of reprocessed single-use laparoscopic and endoscopic electrosurgical accessories who already have 510(k) clearance for these devices must submit supplemental validation data for the devices by June 29, 2006, or their devices may no longer be legally marketed.

Zimmerman, Center for Devices and Radiological Health (HFZ-410), Food and Drug Administration, 9200 Corporate Blvd., Rockville, MD 20850, 301-443- 8320, ext. 158. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background On October 26, 2002, MDUFMA (Public Law 107-250), amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) by adding section 510(o) (21 U.S.C. 360(o)), which provided new regulatory requirements for reprocessed SUDs. According to this new provision, in order to ensure that reprocessed SUDs are substantially equivalent to predicate devices, 510(k)s for certain reprocessed SUDs identified by FDA must include validation data. These required validation data include cleaning and sterilization data, and functional performance data demonstrating that each SUD will remain substantially equivalent to its predicate device after the maximum number of times the device is reprocessed as intended by the person submitting the premarket notification. Before enactment of the new law, a manufacturer of a reprocessed SUD was required to obtain premarket approval or premarket clearance for the device, unless the device was exempt from premarket submission requirements. Under MDUFMA, some previously exempt reprocessed SUDs are no longer exempt from premarket notification requirements. Manufacturers of these identified devices were required to submit 510(k)s that included validation data specified by FDA. Reprocessors of certain SUDs already subject to cleared 510(k)s were also required to submit the validation data specified by the agency. The reprocessed SUDs subject to these new requirements were listed in the Federal Register as required by MDUFMA. In accordance with section 510(o) of the act, FDA shall revise the lists as appropriate. This notice adds two types of reprocessed SUDs to the lists of devices subject to MDUFMA's data submission requirements. Noncompression heart stabilizers are being added to the list of previously exempt reprocessed SUDs that now require the submission of 510(k)s containing validation data. Laparoscopic and endoscopic electrosurgical accessories are being added to the list of reprocessed SUDs, already subject to premarket notification requirements, for which supplemental validation data are required. A. Definitions Under section 302(b) of MDUFMA, a reprocessed SUD is defined as an ``original device that has previously been used on a patient and has been subjected to additional processing and manufacturing for the purpose of an additional single use on a patient. The subsequent processing and manufacture of a reprocessed single-use device shall result in a device that is reprocessed within the meaning of this definition.'' Reprocessed SUDs are divided into three groups: (1) critical, (2) semicritical, and (3) noncritical. The first two categories reflect definitions set forth in MDUFMA, and all three reflect a classification scheme recognized in the industry.\1\ These categories of devices are defined as follows: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\Spaulding, E.H., ``The Role of Chemical Disinfection in the Prevention of Nonsocomial Infections,'' P.S. Brachman and T.C. Eickof (ed), Proceedings of International Conference on Nonsocomial Infections, 1970, American Hospital Association, Chicago, 254-274, 1971. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) A critical reprocessed SUD is intended to contact normally sterile tissue or body spaces during use. (2) A semicritical reprocessed SUD is intended to contact intact mucous membranes and not penetrate normally sterile areas of the body. (3) A noncritical reprocessed SUD is intended to make topical contact and not penetrate intact skin. B. Critical and Semicritical Reprocessed SUDs Previously Exempt From Premarket Notification MDUFMA required FDA to review the critical and semicritical reprocessed SUDs that were previously exempt from premarket notification requirements and determine which of these devices required premarket notification to ensure their substantial equivalence to predicate devices. By April 26, 2003, FDA was required to identify in a Federal Register notice those critical reprocessed SUDs whose exemption from premarket notification would be terminated and for which FDA determined that validation data, as specified under MDUFMA, was necessary in a 510(k). According to the law, manufacturers of the devices whose exemptions from premarket notification were terminated were required to submit 510(k)s that included validation data regarding cleaning, sterilization, and functional performance, in addition to all the other required elements of a 510(k) identified in Sec. 807.87 (21 CFR 807.87), within 15 months of [[Page 56912]] publication of the notice or no longer market their devices. In accordance with section 510(o) of the act, FDA must revise the list of devices subject to this requirement as appropriate. On June 26, 2003 (68 FR 38071), FDA recategorized nine device types from semicritical to critical, and added nonelectric gastroenterology- urology biopsy forceps to the list of critical devices whose exemption from premarket notification requirements was being terminated. By April 26, 2004, FDA was required to identify in a Federal Register notice those semicritical reprocessed SUDs whose exemption from premarket notification would be terminated and for which FDA determined that validation data, as specified under MDUFMA, was necessary in a 510(k). As discussed above, manufacturers of the devices whose exemptions from premarket notification were terminated were required to submit 510(k)s that included validation data regarding cleaning, sterilization, and functional performance, in addition to all the other required elements of a 510(k) identified in Sec. 807.87, within 15 months of publication of the notice or no longer market their devices. In accordance with section 510(o) of the act, FDA must revise the list of devices subject to this requirement as appropriate. C. Reprocessed SUDs Already Subject to Premarket Notification Requirements MDUFMA also required FDA to review the types of reprocessed SUDs already subject to premarket notification requirements and to identify which of these devices required the submission of validation data to ensure their substantial equivalence to predicate devices. FDA published a list of these devices in the Federal Register on April 30, 2003 (68 FR 23139). As described above, FDA must revise the list of devices subject to this requirement as appropriate. For devices identified on this list that had already been cleared through the 510(k) process, manufacturers were required to submit validation data regarding cleaning, sterilization, and functional performance within 9 months of publication of the list or no longer market their devices. For devices on this list that were not yet cleared through the 510(k) process, manufacturers were required to submit 510(k)s including validation data regarding cleaning, sterilization, and functional performance, in addition to all the other required elements identified in 21 CFR 807.87, in order to market these devices. II. FDA's Implementation of New Section 510(o) of the Act In the Federal Register of April 30, 2003 (68 FR 23139), FDA described the methodology and criteria used to identify the reprocessed SUDs that were included in the lists required by MDUFMA. First, FDA described how it identified the types of SUDs currently being reprocessed and how the Spaulding definitions (see footnote 1) were used to categorize these devices as critical, semicritical, or noncritical. (See Attachment 1.) Next, the agency described its use of the Risk Prioritization Scheme (RPS)\2\ that was used to evaluate the potential risk (high, moderate, or low) associated with an SUD based on the following factors: (1) Risk of infection and (2) risk of inadequate performance following reprocessing. FDA identified its final criterion as those reprocessed SUDs intended to come in contact with tissue at high risk of being infected with the causative agents of Creutzfeldt- Jakob Disease (CJD). (These are generally devices intended for use in neurosurgery and ophthalmology.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \2\This scheme is described in the February 2000 draft guidance document entitled, ``Reprocessing and Reuse of Single-Use Devices: Review Prioritization Scheme.'' http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/leaving.cgi?from=leavingFR.html&log=linklog&to=http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/reuse/1156.html . --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using this methodology and these criteria, the devices included on List I (Critical and Semicritical Reprocessed SUDs Previously Exempt from Premarket Notification Requirements that Now Require 510(k)s with Validation Data) of the April 30, 2003, June 26, 2003, and April 13, 2004, Federal Register notices are those critical and semicritical reprocessed SUDs that were either high risk according to the RPS or intended to come in contact with tissue at high risk of being infected with CJD. The devices included on List II (Reprocessed SUDs Subject to Premarket Notification Requirements that Now Require the Submission of Validation Data) of the April 30, 2003, Federal Register notice are those reprocessed SUDs already subject to premarket notification requirements that were either high risk according to the RPS or intended to come in contact with tissue at high risk of being infected with CJD. III. Revisions to Attachment 1, List I, and List II A. Revisions to Attachment 1 (List of SUDs Known To Be Reprocessed or Considered for Reprocessing) FDA has evaluated the comments received regarding section 510(o) of the act. In doing so, the agency has determined that all noncompression heart stabilizers and endoscopic and laparoscopic electrosurgical accessories should be considered high risk devices when reprocessed. Noncompression heart stabilizers are intended to move, lift, and position the heart while maintaining hemodynamic stability during cardiovascular surgery. The agency has determined that noncompression heart stabilizers are high risk devices when reprocessed because they include features, such as narrow tubing, interlocking parts, and small crevices that could impede cleaning and sterilization and because these devices contain materials, coatings, or components that may be damaged or altered by reprocessing. Therefore, these devices have the potential for a high risk of infection and/or inadequate performance when reprocessed. This includes noncompression heart stabilizers (device 21 in Attachment 1) classified under Sec. 870.4500 (21 CFR 870.4500). In determining that noncompression heart stabilizers are high risk devices when reprocessed, a new product code has been created to identify these devices within regulation Sec. 870.4500. The new product code is NQG. This new product code has been added to device 21 in Attachment 1 of this document. Endoscopic and laparoscopic electrosurgical accessories are surgical instruments used during minimally invasive surgery, including vein harvesting. The agency has determined that these devices should be considered high risk devices when reprocessed because they include features, such as narrow lumens, that could impede thorough cleaning and sterilization and because these devices contain materials, coatings, or components that may be damaged or altered by reprocessing. Therefore, these devices have the potential for a high risk of infection or inadequate performance when reprocessed. This includes endoscopic and laparoscopic electrosurgical accessories (device 162 in Attachment 1) classified under Sec. 878.4400 (21 CFR 878.4400). In determining that endoscopic and laparoscopic electrosurgical accessories are potentially high risk devices when reprocessed, a new product code has been created to identify these devices within regulation Sec. 878.4400. The new product code is NUJ. This new product code has been added to device 162 in Attachment 1. These changes are reflected in a revised version of Attachment 1 included in this Federal Register notice. [[Page 56913]] B. Revisions to List I (Critical and Semicritical Reprocessed Single- Use Devices Previously Exempt from Premarket Notification Requirements that Now Require 510(k)s with Validation Data) Using the RPS, FDA has recategorized noncompression heart stabilizers from moderate risk to high risk when reprocessed, and the agency has therefore added noncompression heart stabilizers to List I. Manufacturers of noncompression heart stabilizers will be required to submit 510(k)s with validation data by December 29, 2006, which is 15 months following this revision of the list. To help reprocessors be able to easily identify those critical and semicritical reprocessed SUDs that have been categorized into List I in this notice and previous Federal Register notices, FDA is re-issuing a complete listing of these devices. Therefore, List 1 now identifies all critical and semicritical reprocessed SUDs previously exempt from premarket notification requirements that now require 510(k)s with validation data. C. Revisions to List II (Reprocessed Single-Use Devices Subject to Premarket Notification Requirements that Now Require the Submission of Validation Data) Using the RPS, FDA has recategorized endoscopic and laparoscopic electrosurgical accessories under regulation Sec. 878.4400 from moderate risk to high risk when reprocessed. Therefore, endoscopic and laparoscopic electrosurgical accessories have been added to List II. Under MDUFMA, manufacturers of these devices who have already obtained clearance through the 510(k) process must submit validation data regarding cleaning, sterilization, and functional performance by June 29, 2006, which is 9 months following this revision of the list. Upon publication of this notice, manufacturers who have not yet obtained clearance through the 510(k) process must submit 510(k)s including validation data regarding cleaning, sterilization, and functional performance, in addition to all the other required elements of a 510(k) identified in 21 CFR 807.87, in order to market these devices.

Stakeholder Input In the Federal Register of February 4, 2003 (68 FR 5643), FDA invited interested persons to provide information and share views on the implementation of MDUFMA. Since that time, the agency has received comments on various MDUFMA provisions, including several on its implementation of section 510(o) of the act. As discussed above, one comment recommended that heart stabilizers should be considered high risk because of the risk of cross contamination and deterioration of the mechanical properties of the device. FDA agrees that noncompression heart stabilizers, a subset of all heart stabilizers, should be added to the list of critical reprocessed SUDs previously exempt from premarket notification requirements that will now require 510(k)s with validation data. Therefore, FDA has added noncompression heart stabilizers to List I. Another comment recommended that FDA recategorize endoscopic vessel harvesting devices as high risk to be consistent with the categorization of other endoscopic accessories under 21 CFR 876.1500 (Endoscope and accessories). FDA agrees that endoscopic vessel harvesting devices should be considered high risk and subject to the submission of validation data. As discussed previously, in reviewing this comment, the agency also determined that laparoscopic electrosurgical accessories should be similarly categorized. Therefore, FDA has added laparoscopic and endoscopic electrosurgical accessories to List II. Other additional comments requested that specific reprocessed SUDs be added to either List I or II. Each of these comments was carefully considered. However, FDA does not believe, based on the risk-based approach described in the April 30, 2003, Federal Register notice, that SUDs other than those identified in this notice should be added to the Lists at this time. Another comment requested the FDA to call for the immediate submission and review of validation data regarding cleaning, sterilization, and functional performance for all reprocessed SUDs. The comment further stated that this request was based on the significant number of reprocessed devices which were withdrawn or were deemed to be insufficiently supported by validation data as of February 8, 2005. Section 510(o) of the act required FDA to identify those reprocessed SUDs for which validation data must be submitted in order to ensure that those SUDs remain substantially equivalent to predicate devices after reprocessing. Because the agency has found that some reprocessed SUDs do not require the submission and review of validation data in order to demonstrate substantial equivalence, the agency identified the types of devices requiring the submission of validation data by implementing a risk-based approach. This risk-based approach, described in the April 30, 2003, Federal Register notice, identified a significant number of reprocessed SUDs that can no longer be legally marketed without agency review and clearance of validation data. The failure of some manufacturers to submit this validation data and the agency's review of submitted data resulted in a determination that a significant number of reprocessed SUDs could no longer be legally marketed. However, the process also identified a significant number of reprocessed SUDs that could continue to be marketed because: (1) they were found not to require the submission of additional validation data in order to ensure substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices; or (2) after a review of submitted validation data, they were found to be substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices. Therefore, FDA does not intend to expand the list of reprocessed SUDs subject to the submission and review of validation data to all reprocessed SUDs as requested in the comment. The agency believes it has implemented section 510(o) of the act by identifying the types of devices that require the submission of validation data and determining which of those devices can no longer be legally marketed.
