  • Title: Medical devices; reclassification of six cardiovascular preamendments class III devices into class II. Final rule.
    Author: Food and Drug Administration.
    Journal: Fed Regist; 2001 Apr 10; 66(69):18540-2. PubMed ID: 11721689.
    Abstract:
    The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is reclassifying six cardiovascular pre amendments devices from class III (pre market approval) into class II (special controls). FDA is also identifying the special controls that the agency believes will reasonably ensure the safety and effectiveness of the devices. This reclassification is being undertaken on the agency's own initiative based on new information under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act), as amended by the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990 and the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997. The agency is also revising the identification of one of the devices subject to this rule to simplify the classification regulation and is correcting a typographical error that was incorporated into the regulations.
