On March 25, 2008, EES submitted a PMA (PMA P080009) for SEDASYS. SEDASYS is an integrated patient monitoring and drug delivery system. The device’s proposed indication is for the intravenous administration of 1 percent (10 milligrams per milliliter (mg/mL)) propofol injectable emulsion for the initiation and maintenance of minimal-to-moderate sedation in adult patients (American Society of Anesthesiology physical status I and II) undergoing colonoscopy and esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) procedures. At a May 28, 2009 meeting, the Anesthesiology and Respiratory Therapy Devices Panel met to discuss, and provide recommendations regarding, the PMA. The panel recommended, by a vote of 8–2, that the PMA be found ‘‘approvable with conditions.’’ E:\FR\FM\21NON1.SGM 21NON1
