the Membership of ICH has expanded to
include other regulatory authorities and
industry associations from around the
world (https://www.ich.org/).
ICH works by involving technical
experts from both regulators and
industry parties in detailed technical
harmonization work and the application
of a science-based approach to
harmonization through a consensusdriven process that results in the
development of ICH guidelines. The
regulators around the world are
committed to consistently adopting
these consensus-based guidelines,
realizing the benefits for patients and for
industry.
As a Founding Regulatory Member of
ICH, FDA plays a major role in the
development of each of the ICH
guidelines, which FDA then adopts and
issues as guidance for industry. FDA’s
guidance documents do not establish
legally enforceable responsibilities.
Instead, they describe the Agency’s
current thinking on a topic and should
be viewed only as recommendations,
unless specific regulatory or statutory
requirements are cited.
In June 2020, the ICH Assembly
endorsed the draft guideline entitled
‘‘M7 Assessment and Control of DNA
Reactive (Mutagenic) Impurities in
Pharmaceuticals To Limit Potential
Carcinogenic Risk—Questions and
Answers’’ and agreed that the guideline
should be made available for public
comment. The draft guideline is the
product of the Safety Expert Working
Group of the ICH. Comments about this
draft will be considered by FDA and the
Safety Expert Working Group.
The draft Q&A guidance is intended
to clarify, promote the convergence of,
and improve the harmonization of the
considerations for assessment and
control of DNA reactive (mutagenic)
impurities and of the information that
should be provided when developing
drugs, completing marketing
authorization applications, and using
drug master files. This is important
because since the ICH M7 Guideline
was finalized, the worldwide experience
with implementation of the
recommendations for DNA reactive
(mutagenic) impurities has given rise to
requests for clarification relating to the
assessment and control of DNA reactive
(mutagenic) impurities. To facilitate the
implementation of the ICH M7
Guideline, the ICH M7 Implementation
Working Group has developed a series
of Q&As. The scope of this draft Q&A
guidance follows that of the ICH M7
Guideline.
This draft guidance has been left in
the original ICH format. The final
guidance will be reformatted and edited
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:14 Sep 28, 2020
Jkt 250001
to conform with FDA’s good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115) and
style before publication. The draft
guidance, when finalized, will represent
the current thinking of FDA on ‘‘M7
Assessment and Control of DNA
Reactive (Mutagenic) Impurities in
Pharmaceuticals To Limit Potential
Carcinogenic Risk—Questions and
Answers.’’ 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.
II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
FDA tentatively concludes that this
draft guidance contains no collection of
information. Therefore, clearance by the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3521) is not required.
However, this draft guidance refers to
previously approved FDA collections of
information. These collections of
information are subject to review by
OMB under the PRA. The collections of
information in 21 CFR part 601 has been
approved under OMB control number
0910–0338. The collections of
information in 21 CFR parts 312 and
314 have been approved under OMB
control numbers 0910–0014 and 0910–
0001, and the collection of information
under 21 CFR parts 210 and 211 have
been approved under OMB control
number 0910–0139.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On October 11, 2016 (81 FR 70120),
FDA published a final guidance
entitled, ‘‘Self-Monitoring Blood
Glucose Test Systems for Over-theCounter Use.’’ This guidance described
studies and information that FDA
recommends be used when submitting
premarket notifications (510(k)s) for
SMBGs, which are for home use by lay
users.
On November 30, 2018, FDA
published a notice of availability in the
Federal Register (83 FR 61640) of a draft
guidance that proposed revisions to the
guidance. FDA proposed modifications
based on feedback received from
stakeholders and to better align with the
evolving understanding and
development of these types of devices.
FDA considered comments received
on the draft guidance and we made
revisions as appropriate in response to
the comments, including a minor edit
encouraging manufacturers to consider
design features that will aid in user
accessibility and a technical edit in
hemoglobin testing concentration. This
guidance replaces the existing final
guidance of the same title issued on
October 11, 2016.
This guidance is not meant to address
BGMS that are intended for prescription
point-of-care use in professional
healthcare settings (e.g., hospitals,
physician offices, long-term care
facilities). FDA addresses those device
types in another guidance entitled,
‘‘Blood Glucose Monitoring Test
Systems for Prescription Point-of-Care
Use.’’ 1
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 ‘‘Self-Monitoring
Blood Glucose Test Systems for Overthe-Counter Use.’’ 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.
II. 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

III. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
While this guidance contains no
collection of information, it does refer to
previously approved collections of
information. Therefore, clearance by the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3521) is not
required for this guidance. The
