Background On October 14, 1994, FDA issued a guidance document on replacement heart valves (``the 1994 draft''), before the implementation of FDA's good guidance practices regulation. FDA withdrew the 1994 draft on January 5, 2005 (70 FR 824) and is now issuing this new draft guidance document for public comment. This draft guidance document describes FDA's recommendations about manufacturing, preclinical in vitro bench testing, preclinical in vivo studies, clinical investigations, and labeling that are different from or in addition to the recommendations of the International Organization For Standardization (ISO), ISO 5840:2005, ``Cardiovascular Implants -- Cardiac Valve Prostheses'' (ISO 5840). Although the draft guidance document provides complementary information to ISO 5840:2005, the draft guidance document can also be used with other methods equivalent to ISO 5840:2005. II. Significance of Guidance This draft guidance document is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance document, when finalized, will represent the agency's current thinking on ``Heart Valves -- Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) and Premarket Approval (PMA) Applications.'' 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 statute and regulations. III.
