Electronic Submission Process for Voluntary Allegations to the Center 
for Devices and Radiological Health

OMB Control Number 0910-0769--Extension

    This information collection request collects information 
voluntarily submitted to CDRH on actual or potential health risk 
concerns about a medical device or radiological product or its use. 
Because, prior to the establishment of the electronic submission 
process for voluntary allegations to CDRH, there had been no 
established guidelines or instructions on how to submit an allegation 
to CDRH, allegations often contained minimal information and were 
received via phone calls, emails, or conversationally. CDRH has 
established a consistent format and process for the submission of 
device allegations that enhances our timeliness in receiving, 
assessing, and evaluating voluntary allegations. The information 
provided in the allegations received by CDRH may be used to clarify the 
recurrence or emergence of significant device-related risks to the 
general public and the need to initiate educational outreach or 
regulatory action to minimize or mitigate identified risks.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of
  information.


[[Page 7564]]

    Our estimated burden for the information collection reflects an 
overall increase of 225 hours and a corresponding increase of 900 
responses/records. We attribute this adjustment to an increase in the 
number of submissions we received over the last few years.
