In the Federal Register of April 5, 2010 (75 FR 17093), FDA published a notice announcing the availability of draft special controls guidance documents for 11 neurological and physical medicine devices. Interested persons were originally given until July 6, 2010, to comment on the draft guidance documents. The agency expressed specific interest in comments on the types of claims appropriate for devices included within the 11 classifications and, for devices that remain subject to premarket review, the data sponsors should submit to support those claims. Following publication of the April 5, 2010, notice, FDA received requests to allow interested persons additional time to comment. The requests asserted that the 90-day time period was insufficient to respond fully to FDA’s specific requests for comments and to allow potential respondents to thoroughly evaluate and address pertinent issues. The agency has considered the requests and is reopening the comment period until September 7, 2010. The agency believes the additional comment period allows adequate time for interested persons to submit comments without significantly delaying rulemaking on these important issues.
