The draft guidance provides details about the pyrogenicity information we recommend be included in 510(k)s for devices labeled as sterile. When final, this draft will supersede the guidance entitled ‘‘Updated 510(k) Sterility Review Guidance K90–1’’ that FDA issued on August 30, 2002 (available at https://www.fda.gov/cdrh/ ode/guidance/361.pdf).

This project is a multicenter, sixand-a-half year epidemiologic study and will recruit 16,000 Hispanic men and women aged 18–74 in four communitybased cohorts in Chicago, Miami, San Diego, and the Bronx. The study will examine measures of obesity, physical activity, nutritional habits, diabetes, lung and sleep function, cognitive function, hearing, and dental conditions. Closely integrated with the research component will be a community and professional education component, with the goals of bringing the research results back to the community, improving recognition and control of risk factors, and attracting and training Hispanic researchers in epidemiology and population-based research. Frequency of Response: The participants will be contacted annually. Affected Public: Individuals or households; Businesses or other for profit; Small businesses or organizations. Type of Respondents: Individuals or households; physicians.
