Mizrachi, Office of Information Management, Food and Drug VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:08 Jul 12, 2012 Jkt 226001 Ila Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff; Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Automated Blood Cell Separator Device Operating by Centrifugal or Filtration Separation Principle (OMB Control Number 0910–0594)—Extension Under the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101–629), FDA may establish special controls, including performance standards, postmarket surveillance, patient registries, guidelines, and other appropriate actions it believes necessary to provide reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device. The special control guidance serves to support the reclassification from class III to class II of the automated blood cell separator device operating on a centrifugal separation principle intended for the routine collection of blood and blood components as well as the special control for the automated blood cell separator device operating on a filtration separation principle intended for the routine collection of blood and blood components reclassified as class II (§ 864.9245 (21 CFR 864.9245)). For currently marketed products not approved under the premarket approval process, the manufacturer should file with FDA for 3 consecutive years an annual report on the anniversary date of the device reclassification from class III to class II or, on the anniversary date of the 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360) clearance. Any subsequent change to the device requiring the submission of a premarket notification in accordance with section 510(k) of the FD&C Act should be included in the annual report. Also, a manufacturer of a PO 00000 Frm 00061 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 device determined to be substantially equivalent to the centrifugal or filtration-based automated cell separator device intended for the routine collection of blood and blood components, should comply with the same general and special controls. The annual report should include, at a minimum, a summary of anticipated and unanticipated adverse events that have occurred and that are not required to be reported by manufacturers under Medical Device Reporting (MDR) (part 803 (21 CFR part 803)). The reporting of adverse device events summarized in an annual report will alert FDA to trends or clusters of events that might be a safety issue otherwise unreported under the MDR regulation. Reclassification of this device from class III to class II for the intended use of routine collection of blood and blood components relieves manufacturers of the burden of complying with the premarket approval requirements of section 515 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360e), and may permit small potential competitors to enter the marketplace by reducing the burden. Although the special control guidance recommends that manufacturers of these devices file with FDA an annual report for 3 consecutive years, this would be less burdensome than the current postapproval requirements under part 814, subpart E (21 CFR part 814, subpart E), including the submission of periodic reports under § 814.84. Collecting or transfusing facilities, and manufacturers have certain responsibilities under the Federal regulations. For example, collecting or transfusing facilities are required to maintain records of any reports of complaints of adverse reactions (21 CFR 606.170), while the manufacturer is responsible for conducting an investigation of each event that is reasonably known to the manufacturer and evaluating the cause of the event (§ 803.50(b)). In addition, manufacturers of medical devices are required to submit to FDA individual adverse event E:\FR\FM\13JYN1.SGM 13JYN1 41411 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 135 / Friday, July 13, 2012 / Notices reports of death, serious injury, and malfunctions (§ 803.50). In the special control guidance document, FDA recommends that manufacturers include in their three annual reports a summary of adverse reactions maintained by the collecting or transfusing facility or similar reports of adverse events collected in addition to those required under the MDR regulation. The MedWatch medical device reporting code instructions (https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/ DeviceRegulationandGuidance/ GuidanceDocuments/ucm106737.htm) contains a comprehensive list of adverse events associated with device use, including most of those events that we recommend summarizing in the annual report. In the Federal Register of February 15, 2012 (77 FR 8879), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. No comments were received.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1984, Congress enacted the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (Pub. L. 98–417) (the 1984 amendments), which authorized the approval of duplicate versions of drug products under an ANDA procedure. ANDA applicants must, with certain exceptions, show that the drug for which they are seeking approval contains the same active ingredient in the same strength and dosage form as the ‘‘listed drug,’’ which is a version of the drug that was previously approved. ANDA applicants do not have to repeat the extensive clinical testing otherwise necessary to gain approval of a new drug application (NDA). The only clinical data required in an ANDA are data to show that the drug that is the subject of the ANDA is bioequivalent to the listed drug. The 1984 amendments include what is now section 505(j)(7) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 355(j)(7)), which requires FDA to publish a list of all approved drugs. FDA publishes this list as part of the ‘‘Approved Drug Products With Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations,’’ which is generally known as the ‘‘Orange Book.’’ Under FDA regulations, drugs are removed from the list if the Agency withdraws or suspends approval of the drug’s NDA or ANDA for reasons of safety or effectiveness or PO 00000 Frm 00062 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 if FDA determines that the listed drug was withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness (§ 314.162 (21 CFR 314.162)). A person may petition the Agency to determine, or the Agency may determine on its own initiative, whether a listed drug was withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness. This determination may be made at any time after the drug has been withdrawn from sale but must be made prior to approving an ANDA that refers to the listed drug (§ 314.161 (21 CFR 314.161)). FDA may not approve an ANDA that does not refer to a listed drug. TOPOTECAN INJECTION (topotecan hydrochloride) 1 mg (base)/1 mL, 3 mg (base)/3 mL, 4 mg (base)/4 mL, is the subject of NDA 200199, held by Sandoz Inc., and initially approved on February 25, 2011. TOPOTECAN INJECTION is indicated for the treatment of small cell lung cancer sensitive disease after failure of first-line chemotherapy. In clinical studies submitted to support approval, sensitive disease was defined as disease responding to chemotherapy but subsequently progressing at least 60 days (in the phase 3 study) or at least 90 days (in the phase 2 studies) after chemotherapy. TOPOTECAN INJECTION in combination with cisplatin is indicated for the treatment of stage IV–B, recurrent, or persistent carcinoma of the cervix, which is not amenable to curative treatment with surgery and/or radiation therapy. Sandoz Inc. has never marketed TOPOTECAN INJECTION (topotecan hydrochloride) 1 mg (base)/1 mL, 3 mg (base)/3 mL, 4 mg (base)/4 mL. In previous instances (see, e.g., 72 FR 9763, March 5, 2007; 61 FR 25497, May 21, 1996), the Agency has determined that, for purposes of §§ 314.161 and 314.162, never marketing an approved E:\FR\FM\13JYN1.SGM 13JYN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has 
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for 
review and clearance.

Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff; Class II 
Special Controls Guidance Document: Automated Blood Cell Separator 
Device Operating by Centrifugal or Filtration Separation Principle (OMB 
Control Number 0910-0594)--Extension

    Under the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-629), FDA 
may establish special controls, including performance standards, 
postmarket surveillance, patient registries, guidelines, and other 
appropriate actions it believes necessary to provide reasonable 
assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device.
    The special control guidance serves to support the reclassification 
from class III to class II of the automated blood cell separator device 
operating on a centrifugal separation principle intended for the 
routine collection of blood and blood components as well as the special 
control for the automated blood cell separator device operating on a 
filtration separation principle intended for the routine collection of 
blood and blood components reclassified as class II (Sec.  864.9245 (21 
CFR 864.9245)).
    For currently marketed products not approved under the premarket 
approval process, the manufacturer should file with FDA for 3 
consecutive years an annual report on the anniversary date of the 
device reclassification from class III to class II or, on the 
anniversary date of the 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 
Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360) clearance. Any subsequent change to 
the device requiring the submission of a premarket notification in 
accordance with section 510(k) of the FD&C Act should be included in 
the annual report. Also, a manufacturer of a device determined to be 
substantially equivalent to the centrifugal or filtration-based 
automated cell separator device intended for the routine collection of 
blood and blood components, should comply with the same general and 
special controls.
    The annual report should include, at a minimum, a summary of 
anticipated and unanticipated adverse events that have occurred and 
that are not required to be reported by manufacturers under Medical 
Device Reporting (MDR) (part 803 (21 CFR part 803)). The reporting of 
adverse device events summarized in an annual report will alert FDA to 
trends or clusters of events that might be a safety issue otherwise 
unreported under the MDR regulation.
    Reclassification of this device from class III to class II for the 
intended use of routine collection of blood and blood components 
relieves manufacturers of the burden of complying with the premarket 
approval requirements of section 515 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360e), 
and may permit small potential competitors to enter the marketplace by 
reducing the burden. Although the special control guidance recommends 
that manufacturers of these devices file with FDA an annual report for 
3 consecutive years, this would be less burdensome than the current 
postapproval requirements under part 814, subpart E (21 CFR part 814, 
subpart E), including the submission of periodic reports under Sec.  
814.84.
    Collecting or transfusing facilities, and manufacturers have 
certain responsibilities under the Federal regulations. For example, 
collecting or transfusing facilities are required to maintain records 
of any reports of complaints of adverse reactions (21 CFR 606.170), 
while the manufacturer is responsible for conducting an investigation 
of each event that is reasonably known to the manufacturer and 
evaluating the cause of the event (Sec.  803.50(b)). In addition, 
manufacturers of medical devices are required to submit to FDA 
individual adverse event

[[Page 41411]]

reports of death, serious injury, and malfunctions (Sec.  803.50).
    In the special control guidance document, FDA recommends that 
manufacturers include in their three annual reports a summary of 
adverse reactions maintained by the collecting or transfusing facility 
or similar reports of adverse events collected in addition to those 
required under the MDR regulation. The MedWatch medical device 
reporting code instructions (https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/GuidanceDocuments/ucm106737.htm) contains a 
comprehensive list of adverse events associated with device use, 
including most of those events that we recommend summarizing in the 
annual report.
    In the Federal Register of February 15, 2012 (77 FR 8879), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. No comments were received.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

    Based on FDA records, there are approximately four manufactures of 
automated blood cell separator devices. We estimate that the 
manufacturers will spend approximately 5 hours preparing and submitting 
the annual report.
    Other burden hours required for Sec.  864.9245 are reported and 
approved under OMB control number 0910-0120 (premarket notification 
submission 501(k), 21 CFR part 807, subpart E), and OMB control number 
0910-0437 (MDR, 21 CFR part 803).
