This notice announces a forthcoming meeting of a public advisory committee of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The meeting will be open to the public.

General Function of the Committee: To provide advice and recommendations to the Agency on FDA’s regulatory issues.

A notice in the Federal Register about last minute modifications that impact a previously announced advisory committee meeting cannot always be published quickly enough to provide timely notice. Therefore, you should always check the Agency’s Web site at https:// www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/ default.htm and scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting link, or call the advisory committee information line to learn about possible modifications before coming to the meeting. Agenda: On December 5, 2012, during session I, the committee will discuss and make recommendations regarding the 515(i) order issued by FDA on April 9, 2009 [Docket No. FDA–2009–M– 0101], for the external counter-pulsating (ECP) devices, one of the remaining preAmendment Class III devices. These systems typically consist of a treatment table, pressure cuffs and a controller. They are intended to provide noninvasive circulatory support by applying external pressure to the lower extremities during diastole to increase coronary perfusion pressure, and releasing external pressure during systole to reduce left ventricular workload. On March 9, 1979 (44 FR 13426), FDA published a proposed rule for classification of ECP devices as class III requiring premarket approval. The Cardiovascular Device Classification Panel (the Panel) recommended class III because the device is life supporting and potentially hazardous to life or health even when used properly. In addition, the Panel believed that sufficient information did not exist to determine the adequacy of general controls or to establish standards to provide a reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device. Subsequent to the proposed rule, in 1980, FDA classified external counterpulsating devices into class III after receiving no comments on the proposed rule (45 FR 7966, February 5, 1980). In 1987, FDA published a clarification by inserting language in the codified language stating that no effective date had been established for the requirement for premarket approval for ECP devices (52 FR 17737, May 11, 1987). The discussion at the panel meeting will involve making recommendations regarding regulatory classification to either reconfirm to class III (subject to premarket approval application [PMA]) or reclassify to class I or class II (subject to premarket notification [510(k)]), as directed by section 515(i) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. PO 00000 Frm 00055 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 66847 On December 5, 2012, during session II, the committee will discuss and make recommendations regarding the 515(i) order issued by FDA on April 9, 2009 [Docket No. FDA–2009–M–0101], for Intra-aortic balloon and control systems, one of the remaining pre-Amendment Class III devices. Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) systems consist of an inflatable balloon and a console which inflates in synchronization with the cardiac cycle. During diastole, the balloon will inflate, creating a rise in pressure in the aorta, thus increasing blood flow to the coronary arteries and increasing myocardial oxygen supply. During systole, deflation of the balloon causes a fall in pressure in the aorta, which assists the left ventricle by reducing the pressure that needs to be generated to achieve ejection through the aortic valve. On March 9, 1979 (44 FR 13369), FDA published a proposed rule for classification of IABP devices as class III requiring premarket approval. The Panel recommended class III because the device is life supporting and because the Panel believed that insufficient medical and scientific information existed to establish a standard to assure the safety and effectiveness of the device. The Panel also stated that controversy exists as to whether the device is beneficial in many situations in which it is used, and that it is difficult to use the device safely and effectively. Subsequent to the proposed rule, in 1980, FDA classified IABP devices into class III after receiving no comments on the proposed rule (45 FR 7939, February 5, 1980). In 1987, FDA published a clarification by inserting language in the codified language stating that no effective date had been established for the requirement for premarket approval for IABP devices (52 FR 17736, May 11, 1987). The discussion at the panel meeting will involve making recommendations regarding regulatory classification to either reconfirm to class III (subject to premarket approval application [PMA]) or reclassify to class I or class II (subject to premarket notification [510(k)]), as directed by section 515(i) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. On December 6, 2012, the committee will discuss and make recommendations regarding the 515(i) order issued by FDA on April 9, 2009 [Docket No. FDA–2009–M–0101], for Nonroller-type cardiopulmonary bypass blood pumps, one of the remaining preAmendment Class III devices. A nonroller-type cardiopulmonary bypass blood pump is a device that uses a method other than revolving rollers to pump blood. There are two types of E:\FR\FM\07NON1.SGM 07NON1
