Abstract

This article discusses the Notified Body recommendations issued by the European Forum of Notified Bodies Medical Devices and its subcommittee, the Notified Bodies Recommendations Group. Most of these recommendations represent more detailed guidance documents than the consensus statements issued by this group, which were discussed in a previous article. Some of the recommendations form the basis of the European-level MEDDEV guidance documents.

Medical devices; immunology and microbiology devices; classification of fecal calprotectin immunological test systems. Final rule.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is classifying fecal calprotectin immunological test systems into class II (special controls). The special control that will apply to these devices is the guidance document entitled, "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Fecal Calprotectin Immunological Test Systems." The agency is classifying these devices into class II (special controls) in order to provide a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of these devices. Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, FDA is announcing the availability of a guidance document that will serve as the special control for these devices.

Medical devices; exception from general requirements for informed consent. Interim final rule.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing this interim final rule to amend its regulations to establish a new exception from the general requirements for informed consent, to permit the use of investigational in vitro diagnostic devices to identify chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear agents without informed consent in certain circumstances. The agency is taking this action because it is concerned that, during a potential terrorism event or other potential public health emergency, delaying the testing of specimens to obtain informed consent may threaten the life of the subject. In many instances, there may also be others who have been exposed to, or who may be at risk of exposure to, a dangerous chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear agent, thus necessitating identification of the agent as soon as possible. FDA is creating this exception to help ensure that individuals who may have been exposed to a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear agent are able to benefit from the timely use of the most appropriate diagnostic devices, including those that are investigational.
