This ICR collects information from persons who intend to market a medical device. Based on the information provided in the premarket notification (510(k)) submission, FDA determines whether a new device provides reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device through substantial equivalence to a legally marketed device and whether the device can, therefore, be allowed to enter the U.S. market. Because the review of 510(k) submissions confirms that the new device is as safe and as effective as legally marketed predicate devices, potentially unsafe and/or ineffective devices, including those with fraudulent claims, are prevented from entering the U.S. market.
FDA is submitting this nonmaterial/nonsubstantive change request (83c) in order to reduce the burden estimate for OMB control number 0910-0120, Premarket Notification (510(k)), by 3.4 responses and 269 hours. This request is being made to reflect the burden shift between the Premarket Notification (510(k)) ICR (0910-0120) and the Premarket Approval of Medical Devices ICR (0910-0231) due to the classification of medical devices under section 515(i) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
Automated external defibrillators systems (AEDs) (including the AED device and its accessories (i.e., pad electrodes, batteries, and adapters)) are currently in class III, however, currently respondents submit 510(k) premarket notifications for these preamendments devices (see proposed order for additional background). The Agency issued a proposed order in the Federal Register of March 25, 2013, "Effective Date of Requirement for Premarket Approval for Automated External Defibrillator System" (78 FR 17890), which calls for PMAs for AED devices. As a result, respondents will be required to submit premarket approval applications (PMAs) instead of 510(k)s for AEDs. We expect to receive approximately 3.4 fewer 510(k) applications, causing a reduction of approximately 269 hours in the 510(k) ICR (0910-0120).
