SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background Under section 515(d)(6) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360e(d)(6)), a PMA supplement must be submitted for review and approval by FDA before making a change that affects the device’s safety or effectiveness, unless such change is a modification in a manufacturing procedure or method of manufacture, which would be eligible for a 30-day notice. The PMA regulations provide general criteria in 21 CFR 814.39 for determining when PMA holders are required to submit a PMA supplement or are eligible to submit a 30-day notice. This guidance document explains: (1) What constitutes a manufacturing site change and when a manufacturer should submit a PMA supplement for a site change; (2) what documentation a manufacturer should submit in the site change supplement; and (3) the general factors that FDA intends to consider when determining whether to conduct an establishment inspection prior to the approval of a site change supplement. This guidance is intended to help industry decide when a change in manufacturing site should be submitted in a PMA site change supplement. This guidance is also intended to help industry predict when a preapproval inspection in connection with a PMA supplement for a manufacturing site change will likely be needed to evaluate the firm’s implementation of Quality System regulation requirements, 21 CFR part 820. As a result, this guidance should help manufacturers manage the timeframes associated with implementing the changes in the manufacturing site and any processes, methods, procedures, qualifications, and validations. Please note that this guidance only applies to a manufacturer of a device with an approved PMA, a product development protocol, or a humanitarian device exemption. This guidance does not address manufacturing site changes for devices cleared under the premarket notification (510(k)) submissions, granted premarket authorization through the De Novo pathway, or approved and distributed as part of an investigational device exemption. FDA considered comments received on the draft guidance that appeared in the Federal Register of October 21, 2015. FDA revised the guidance as appropriate in response to the comments. II. Significance of Guidance This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the current thinking of FDA on ‘‘Manufacturing Site Change Supplements: Content and Submission; Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff.’’ It does not establish any rights for any person and is not binding on FDA or the public. You can use an alternative approach if it satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. This guidance is not subject to Executive Order 12866. III. Electronic Access Persons interested in obtaining a copy of the guidance may do so by downloading an electronic copy from the internet. A search capability for all Center for Devices and Radiological Health guidance documents is available at https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/ DeviceRegulationandGuidance/ GuidanceDocuments/default.htm.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    Under section 515(d)(6) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act 
(21 U.S.C. 360e(d)(6)), a PMA supplement must be submitted for review 
and approval by FDA before making a change that affects the device's 
safety or effectiveness, unless such change is a modification in a 
manufacturing procedure or method of manufacture, which would be 
eligible for a 30-day notice. The PMA regulations provide general 
criteria in 21 CFR 814.39 for determining when PMA holders are required 
to submit a PMA supplement or are eligible to submit a 30-day notice.
    This guidance document explains: (1) What constitutes a 
manufacturing site change and when a manufacturer should submit a PMA 
supplement for a site change; (2) what documentation a manufacturer 
should submit in the site change supplement; and (3) the general 
factors that FDA intends to consider when determining whether to 
conduct an establishment inspection prior to the approval of a site 
change supplement. This guidance is intended to help industry decide 
when a change in manufacturing site should be submitted in a PMA site 
change supplement. This guidance is also intended to help industry 
predict when a preapproval inspection in connection with a PMA 
supplement for a manufacturing site change will likely be needed to 
evaluate the firm's implementation of Quality System regulation 
requirements, 21 CFR part 820. As a result, this guidance should help 
manufacturers manage the timeframes associated with implementing the 
changes in the manufacturing site and any processes, methods, 
procedures, qualifications, and validations.
    Please note that this guidance only applies to a manufacturer of a 
device with an approved PMA, a product development protocol, or a 
humanitarian device exemption. This guidance does not address 
manufacturing site changes for devices cleared under the premarket 
notification (510(k)) submissions, granted premarket authorization 
through the De Novo pathway, or approved and distributed as part of an 
investigational device exemption.
    FDA considered comments received on the draft guidance that 
appeared in the Federal Register of October 21, 2015. FDA revised the 
guidance as appropriate in response to the comments.

II. Significance of Guidance

    This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance 
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the 
current thinking of FDA on ``Manufacturing Site Change Supplements: 
Content and Submission; Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug 
Administration Staff.'' It does not establish any rights for any person 
and is not binding on FDA or the public. You can use an alternative 
approach if it satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes 
and regulations. This guidance is not subject to Executive Order 12866.

III. Electronic Access

    Persons interested in obtaining a copy of the guidance may do so by 
downloading an electronic copy from the internet. A search capability 
for all Center for Devices and Radiological Health guidance documents 
is available at https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/GuidanceDocuments/default.htm. This 
guidance document is also available at https://www.fda.gov/BiologicsBloodVaccines/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/default.htm or https://www.regulations.gov. Persons unable to download

Staff'' may send an email request to CDRH-Guidance@fda.hhs.gov to
