SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of a document entitled ‘‘Guidance for Industry: Recommendations for Obtaining a Labeling Claim for Communicable Disease Donor Screening Tests Using Cadaveric Blood Specimens from Donors of Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Products (HCT/Ps),’’ dated November 2004. The guidance document provides medical device manufacturers with information about performing studies to support modifying the indication for use of communicable disease tests to include testing of cadaveric blood specimens to screen donors of human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (HCT/Ps). The guidance document recommends a suggested protocol to modify the indication for use to include testing of cadaveric blood specimens. DATES: Submit written or electronic comments on agency guidances at any time. In accordance with 21 CFR 10.115(g)(4)(i), FDA is immediately implementing this guidance. ADDRESSES: Submit written requests for single copies of the guidance to the Office of Communication, Training, and Manufacturers Assistance (HFM–40), Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), Food and Drug Administration, 1401 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852–1448.

Background FDA is announcing the availability of a document entitled ‘‘Guidance for Industry: Recommendations for Obtaining a Labeling Claim for Communicable Disease Donor Screening Tests Using Cadaveric Blood Specimens From Donors of Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Products (HCT/Ps),’’ dated November 2004. The guidance document provides information to medical device manufacturers of communicable disease tests used to screen donors of HCT/Ps for communicable diseases who plan to perform studies to validate the use of cadaveric blood specimens with their tests. The guidance supercedes the May 2, 1995, letter issued by FDA to manufacturers of communicable disease tests suggesting a minimum protocol for validation of use of cadaveric blood specimens with their donor screening tests. The guidance recommends a minimum suggested protocol to validate an indication for use of cadaveric blood specimens with communicable disease tests used to screen donors of HCT/Ps. The guidance makes recommendations about: (1) Sensitivity and specificity studies, (2) reproducibility studies, (3) number of test kit lots to include in studies, (4) plasma dilution issues, and (5) information about specimen collection times to be included. The guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the agency’s current thinking on this topic. It does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. II. Comments Interested persons may, at any time, submit written or electronic comments to the Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES) regarding this guidance. Submit a single copy of electronic comments or two paper copies of any mailed comments, except E:\FR\FM\24FEN1.SGM 24FEN1
