Abstract: The guidance document “Medical Device Accessories--Describing Accessories and Classification Mechanisms for Accessory Types” encourages manufacturers and other parties to utilize the “de novo request” process defined in section 513(f)(2) of the FD&C Act to request risk-based classifications of new types of medical device accessories. This process provides a pathway to class I or class II classification for accessory devices for which general controls, or general and special controls, provide a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness, but for which there is no legally marketed predicate device. Under the de novo request process, manufacturers and other parties may submit a de novo requesting that FDA make a classification determination for the accessory device. The de novo must include a description of the device and detailed information and reasons for any recommended classification.

Short Statement: Based on an evaluation of the information collection, we have reduced the estimated number of existing requests from 15 to 10, and we have reduced the estimated number of new requests from 10 to 5. This adjustment results in an overall reduction to the information collection by 10 responses and 400 hours annually. We believe these adjustments more accurately reflect the current number of requests associated with medical device accessory classifications.
