Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 52 / Friday, March 16, 2018 / Notices
amendment requires that user facilities
such as hospitals, nursing homes,
ambulatory surgical facilities, and
outpatient treatment facilities report
deaths related to medical devices to
FDA and to the manufacturer, if known.
Serious illnesses and injuries are to be
reported to the manufacturer or to FDA
if the manufacturer is not known. These
statutory requirements regarding
mandatory reporting have been codified
by FDA under 21 CFR part 803 (part
803). Part 803 mandates the use of Form
FDA 3500A for reporting to FDA on
medical devices. The Medical Device
User Fee and Modernization Act of 2002
(MDUFMA) (Pub. L. 107–250), signed
into law October 26, 2002, amended
section 519 of the FD&C Act. The
MDUFMA amendment (section 303)
required FDA to revise the MedWatch
forms to facilitate the reporting of
information relating to reprocessed
single-use devices, including the name
of the reprocessor and whether the
device has been reused.
II. Proposed Modification to Existing
Forms FDA 3500, 3500A, and 3500B
General changes—The proposed
modifications to Forms FDA 3500 and
3500A reflect changes that will bring the
form into conformance, since the
previous authorization in 2015, with
current regulations, rules, and
guidances.
11759
The proposed extension to Forms
FDA 3500, 3500A, and 3500B will only
have changes in the form instructions to
provide clarity of reporting. The
proposed changes are regulatory driven,
improving the Centers’ work, and
improving report processing. The
Agency welcomes comments about
translation of Form FDA 3500B
(consumer) into Spanish and other
languages.
Formatting modifications are being
proposed to several fields to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information.
