audience. Table 1 provides examples of
the types of studies that may be
administered and estimated burden
levels during the 3-year period. Time to
read, view, or listen to the message
being tested is built into the ‘‘Hours per

burden for the information collection
reflects an overall increase of 5,641
hours and a corresponding increase of
16,585 responses. We attribute this
adjustment to the number of study
responses used during the current
approval and now estimated for the next

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
Over the past few years, FDA has
received new information pertaining to
risks associated with breast implants,
including breast implant-associated
anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA–
ALCL) and systemic symptoms
commonly referred to as breast implant
illness (BII) that some patients attribute
to their implants. FDA has taken a
number of steps to better understand
and address risks associated with breast
implants, including convening the
General and Plastic Surgery Devices
Advisory Panel on March 25 to 26,
2019, to discuss the long-term benefits
and risks of breast implants indicated
for breast augmentation and
reconstruction. FDA learned from
presentations at the March 2019 Panel
meeting and through comments
submitted to the associated public
docket that some patients may not be
receiving or understanding important
information regarding the benefits and
risks of breast implants in a format that
allows them to make a well-informed
decision about whether to have a breast
implantation.
For these reasons, FDA is now
providing recommendations concerning
the content and format of certain
labeling information for these devices.
Specifically, FDA is recommending that
manufacturers incorporate a boxed
warning and a patient decision checklist
into the labeling for these devices to
better ensure certain information is
received and understood by patients.
This guidance also recommends
updated and additional labeling
information, including updates to the
silicone gel-filled breast implant rupture
screening recommendations, inclusion
of an easy-to-find description of
materials, and provision of patient
device cards that were recommended at
the March 2019 Panel meeting. The
recommendations in this guidance
document supplement the
recommendations in FDA’s guidance
entitled ‘‘Saline, Silicone Gel, and
Alternative Breast Implants.’’ 1
A notice of availability of the draft
guidance appeared in the Federal
Register of October 24, 2019 (84 FR
57028). FDA considered comments
received and revised the guidance as
appropriate in response to the
comments, including revisions to clarify
the labeling recommendations regarding
the relationship between breast
implants and systemic symptoms and
certain other risks, to refine the
recommendations regarding information
on the patient device card to improve
clarity and readability, and to provide
reference to and information regarding
ongoing patient registries in the patient
decision checklist.
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 ‘‘Breast Implants—
Certain Labeling Recommendations to
Improve Patient Communication.’’ 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.

discharging responsibilities as they
relate to helping to ensure safe and
effective drugs for human use and, as
required, any other product for which
FDA has regulatory responsibility.
The Committee shall consist of a core
of 17 voting members including the
Chair. Members and the Chair are
selected by the Commissioner or
designee from among authorities
knowledgeable in the fields of clinical
and administrative medicine,
hematology, immunology, blood
banking, surgery, internal medicine,
biochemistry, engineering, biological
and physical sciences, biotechnology,
computer technology, statistics,
epidemiology, sociology/ethics, and
other related professions. Members will
be invited to serve for overlapping terms
of up to 4 years. Almost all non-Federal
members of this committee serve as
Special Government Employees. The
core of voting members may include one
technically qualified member, selected
by the Commissioner or designee, who
is identified with consumer interests
and is recommended by either a
consortium of consumer-oriented
organizations or other interested
persons. In addition to the voting
members, the Committee may include
one non-voting member who is
identified with industry interests.
The Commissioner or designee shall
have the authority to select members of
other scientific and technical FDA
advisory committees (normally not to
exceed 10 members) to serve
temporarily as voting members and to
designate consultants to serve
temporarily as voting members when:
(1) expertise is required that is not
available among current voting standing
members of the Committee (when
additional voting members are added to
the Committee to provide needed
expertise, a quorum will be based on the
combined total of regular and added
members) or (2) to comprise a quorum
when, because of unforeseen
circumstances, a quorum is or will be
lacking. Because of the size of the
Committee and the variety in the types
of issues that it will consider, FDA may,
in connection with a particular
committee meeting, specify a quorum
that is less than a majority of the current
voting members. The Agency’s
regulations (21 CFR 14.22(d)) authorize

be included in addition to the voting
members.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Over the past few years, FDA has received new information
pertaining to risks associated with breast implants, including breast
implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) and
systemic symptoms commonly referred to as breast implant illness (BII)
that some patients attribute to their implants. FDA has taken a number
of steps to better understand and address risks associated with breast
implants, including convening the General and Plastic Surgery Devices
Advisory Panel on March 25 to 26, 2019, to discuss the long-term
benefits and risks of breast implants indicated for breast augmentation
and reconstruction. FDA learned from presentations at the March 2019
Panel meeting and through comments submitted to the associated public
docket that some patients may not be receiving or understanding
important information regarding the benefits and risks of breast
implants in a format that allows them to make a well-informed decision
about whether to have a breast implantation.
For these reasons, FDA is now providing recommendations concerning
the content and format of certain labeling information for these

silicone gel-filled breast implant rupture screening recommendations,
inclusion of an easy-to-find description of materials, and provision of

A notice of availability of the draft guidance appeared in the
Federal Register of October 24, 2019 (84 FR 57028). FDA considered
comments received and revised the guidance as appropriate in response
to the comments, including revisions to clarify the labeling
recommendations regarding the relationship between breast implants and
systemic symptoms and certain other risks, to refine the
recommendations regarding information on the patient device card to
improve clarity and readability, and to provide reference to and

This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance

current thinking of FDA on ``Breast Implants--Certain Labeling
