SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background Section 564 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360bbb–3) allows FDA to strengthen the public health protections against biological, chemical, nuclear, and radiological agents. Among other things, section 564 of the FD&C Act allows FDA to authorize the use of an unapproved medical product or an unapproved use of an approved medical product in certain situations. Notice of the issuance of the Authorizations was published in the Federal Register as follows, as required by section 564(h)(1) of the FD&C Act: (1) Published June 5, 2020 (85 FR 34638) for Imports FFR Authorization (Certain Imported, NonNIOSH-Approved Disposable Filtering Facepiece Respirators) issued March 24, 2020; China FFR Authorization (Certain Non-NIOSH-Approved Disposable Filtering Facepiece Respirators Manufactured in China) issued April 3, 2020; and STERIS Corporation for the STERIS Sterilization Systems (STERIS V–PRO 1 Plus, maX, and maX2 Low Temperature Sterilization Systems) issued April 9, 2020; (2) published July 14, 2020 (85 FR 42407) for Advanced Sterilization Products, Inc. for the ASP STERRAD Decontamination Systems issued April 11, 2020; Stryker E:\FR\FM\31AUN1.SGM 31AUN1 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 166 / Tuesday, August 31, 2021 / Notices Instruments for the STERIZONE VP4 Sterilizer issued April 14, 2020; Sterilucent, Inc. for the Sterilucent HC 80TT Hydrogen Peroxide Sterilizer issued April 20, 2020; Duke University Health System for the Duke Decontamination System issued May 7, 2020; (3) published November 20, 2020, (85 FR 74346) for STERIS Corporation for the AMSCO Medium Steam Sterilizers + the STERIS STEAM Decon Cycle issued May 21, 2020; Stryker Sustainability Solutions (SSS) for the SSS VHP N95 Respirator Decontamination System issued May 27, 2020; Technical Safety Services LLC for the 20–CS Decontamination System issued June 13, 2020; MSU for the MSU Decontamination System issued July 24, 2020; (4) published April 23, 2021, (86 FR 21749) for Roxby Development, LLC for the Zoe-Ann Decontamination System issued October 20, 2020; 3B Medical, Inc. for the Lumin LM3000 Bioburden Reduction UV System issued December 3, 2020; Ecolab Inc. for the Bioquell Technology System issued December 4, 2020; and Yale New Haven Health System for the Yale New Haven Health FILTERING FACEPIECE RESPIRATOR Decontamination System issued January 15, 2021. Any subsequent reissuances of the Authorizations are listed in the revocation letters reprinted at the end of this document. The authorization of a device for emergency use under section 564 of the FD&C Act may, pursuant to section 564(g)(2) of the FD&C Act, be revoked when the criteria under section 564(c) of the FD&C Act for issuance of such authorization are no longer met (section 564(g)(2)(B) of the FD&C Act), or other circumstances make such revocation appropriate to protect the public health or safety (section 564(g)(2)(C) of the FD&C Act). khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES II. EUA Revocation Criteria Met On June 30, 2021, FDA revoked the China FFR Authorization and Imports FFR Authorization. FDA reviewed the totality of scientific evidence available, including data provided by device manufacturers, distributors, Group Purchasing Organizations, FDA Imports database, healthcare organizations, and Federal/State stockpiles. Based on the change in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations, the increase in availability of NIOSH-approved respirators, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) requirements, and information provided VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:08 Aug 30, 2021 Jkt 253001 by healthcare organizations and others,1 FDA has concluded that the known and potential benefits of these respirators, when used for such use, no longer outweigh the known and potential risks of continued use, and pursuant to section 564(g)(2)(B), the criteria under section 564(c) of the FD&C Act for issuance of the Authorizations are no longer met. In addition, based on the same information, revocation of the Authorizations is appropriate to protect the public health and safety pursuant to section 564(g)(2)(C) of the FD&C Act. On June 30, 2021, FDA revoked the Authorizations for decontamination and bioburden reductions systems pursuant to requests from the following entities on the following dates: • April 9, 2021, from Duke for the Duke Decontamination System; • April 15, 2021, from Sterilucent, Inc. for the Sterilucent HC 80TT Hydrogen PeroxideSterilizer; • April 16, 2021, from Yale for the Yale New Haven Health FFR Decontamination System; • May 13, 2021, from STERIS Corporation for the STERIS Sterilization Systems, as well as the AMSCO Medium Steam Sterilizers + the STERIS STEAM Decon Cycle; • May 25, 2021, from Stryker Sustainability Solutions (SSS) for the SSS VHP N95 Respirator Decontamination System; • May 27, 2021 from MSU for the MSU Decontamination System; • June 4, 2021, from Advanced Sterilization Products, Inc. for the ASP STERRAD Decontamination Systems; • June 7, 2021, from Technical Safety Services LLC for the 20–CS Decontamination System; 1 Non-NIOSH approved FFRs were previously recommended by CDC as a crisis capacity strategy when there was a severe shortage of NIOSHapproved FFRs available for healthcare personnel (HCP). Available information now shows an increase in the current and projected U.S. supply of NIOSH-approved respirators, including N95s (https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/topics/ respirators/disp_part/N95list1.html). As such, on April 9 and May 27, 2021, CDC updated their recommendations to reflect that healthcare facilities should return to conventional capacity strategies and thus CDC no longer recommends the use of non-NIOSH-approved FFRs. On May 27, 2021, FDA also recommended that healthcare facilities and HCP ‘‘transition away from crisis capacity conservation strategies, such as using non-NIOSHapproved disposable respirators, including imported respirators such as KN95s’’ (https:// www.fda.gov/medical-devices/letters-health-careproviders/update-fda-recommends-transition-usenon-niosh-approved-and-decontaminateddisposable-respirators). In addition, on June 21, 2021 (86 FR 32376), OSHA issued an Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) to adequately address the hazard of COVID–19 for HCP. The ETS requires, among other things, healthcare employers to provide NIOSH-approved or FDA-authorized respirators for healthcare workers potentially exposed to COVID–19. PO 00000 Frm 00055 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 48713 • June 7, 2021, from Roxby Development, LLC for the Zoe-Ann Decontamination System; • June 7, 2021, from 3B Medical, Inc. for the Lumin LM3000 Bioburden Reduction UV System; • June 7, 2021, from Ecolab Inc. for the Bioquell Technology System; and • June 8, 2021, from Stryker Instruments for the STERIZONE VP4 Sterilizer. Because these entities notified FDA that they have ceased operations and associated activities and request withdrawal of their respective Authorizations, and consistent with FDA’s belief that the known and potential benefits of these systems, when used for their emergency use, no longer outweigh the known and potential risks of such use, FDA has determined that it is appropriate to revoke the Authorizations because the criteria for issuance of an EUA under section 564(c)(2)(B) of the Act are no longer met. Moreover, based on the same information, FDA has concluded under section 564(g)(2)(C) of the FD&C Act that other circumstances make revocation appropriate to protect the public health or safety. III. Electronic Access An electronic version of this document and the full text of the revocations are available on the internet at https://www.regulations.gov/ and https://www.fda.gov/emergencypreparedness-and-response/mcm-legalregulatory-and-policy-framework/ emergency-use-authorization-archivedinformation#covid19. IV. The Revocations Having concluded that the criteria for revocation of the Authorizations under section 564(g)(2)(B) and 564(g)(2)(C) of the FD&C Act are met, FDA has revoked the following Authorizations: • China FFR Authorization; • Imports FFR Authorization; • Duke’s Duke Decontamination System; • Sterilucent, Inc.’s Sterilucent HC 80TT Hydrogen Peroxide Sterilizer; • Yale’s Yale New Haven Health FFR Decontamination System; • STERIS Corporation’s STERIS Sterilization Systems, as well as the AMSCO Medium Steam Sterilizers + the STERIS STEAM Decon Cycle; • Stryker Sustainability Solutions’s SSS VHP N95 Respirator Decontamination System; • MSU’s MSU Decontamination System; • Advanced Sterilization Products, Inc.’s ASP STERRAD Decontamination Systems; E:\FR\FM\31AUN1.SGM 31AUN1 48714 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 166 / Tuesday, August 31, 2021 / Notices • Technical Safety Services LLC’s 20– CS Decontamination System; • Roxby Development, LLC’s ZoeAnn Decontamination System; • 3B Medical, Inc.’s Lumin LM3000 Bioburden Reduction UV System; • Ecolab Inc.’s Bioquell Technology System; and • Stryker Instruments’s STERIZONE VP4 Sterilizer.

Duke will no longer make the Duke Decontamination System available for the. authorized emergency use. In its request, Duke confirmed that it has ceased operation of all Duke Decontamination System sites as well as associated activities. The authorization of a device for emergency use under section 564 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act(the Act)(2 l U.S.C. 360bbb-3) may be revoked when the circumstances described under section 564(b)(l) ofthe Act no longer exist (section 564(g)(2)(A) ofthe Act), the criteria under section 564(c) of the Act for issuance ofsuch authorization are no longer met (section 564(g)(2)(B) of the Act), or other circumstances make such revocation appropriate to protect the public health or safety (section 564(g)(2)(C)of the Act). Because Duke has notified FDA that it has ceased operations and associated activities and requeSts withdrawal ofthe authorization, and consistent with.FDA 's belief that the known and potential benefits ofthis. system, when used for its emergency use, no longeroutweigh the known and potential risks of such use, FDA has determined thatit is appropriate to revoke this authorization becausethe criteria for issuance of an EUA under section 564(c)(2 )(B) of the Act are no longer met. Moreover, based on the same information, FDA has concluded under section 564(g)(2)(C)ofthe Act that other circumstances make revocation of this EUA appropriate to protectthe public health or safety. Accordingly, FDA hereby revokes Duke's EUA for the Duke Decontamination Sysrern, pursuant to sections 564(g)(2)(B) and 564(g)(2)(C) ofthe Act. Asof the date ofthis letter, the Duke Decontamination System is no longer authorized for emergency use by FDA. FDA encourages Duke to.inform its customers of this revocation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Section 564 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360bbb-3) allows FDA to 
strengthen the public health protections against biological, chemical, 
nuclear, and radiological agents. Among other things, section 564 of 
the FD&C Act allows FDA to authorize the use of an unapproved medical 
product or an unapproved use of an approved medical product in certain 
situations. Notice of the issuance of the Authorizations was published 
in the Federal Register as follows, as required by section 564(h)(1) of 
the FD&C Act: (1) Published June 5, 2020 (85 FR 34638) for Imports FFR

    Any subsequent reissuances of the Authorizations are listed in the 
revocation letters reprinted at the end of this document.
    The authorization of a device for emergency use under section 564 
of the FD&C Act may, pursuant to section 564(g)(2) of the FD&C Act, be 
revoked when the criteria under section 564(c) of the FD&C Act for 
issuance of such authorization are no longer met (section 564(g)(2)(B) 
of the FD&C Act), or other circumstances make such revocation 
appropriate to protect the public health or safety (section 
564(g)(2)(C) of the FD&C Act).

II. EUA Revocation Criteria Met

    On June 30, 2021, FDA revoked the China FFR Authorization and 
Imports FFR Authorization. FDA reviewed the totality of scientific 
evidence available, including data provided by device manufacturers, 
distributors, Group Purchasing Organizations, FDA Imports database, 
healthcare organizations, and Federal/State stockpiles. Based on the 
change in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 
recommendations, the increase in availability of NIOSH-approved 
respirators, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 
Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) requirements, and information 
provided by healthcare organizations and others,\1\ FDA has concluded 
that the known and potential benefits of these respirators, when used 
for such use, no longer outweigh the known and potential risks of 
continued use, and pursuant to section 564(g)(2)(B), the criteria under 
section 564(c) of the FD&C Act for issuance of the Authorizations are 
no longer met. In addition, based on the same information, revocation 
of the Authorizations is appropriate to protect the public health and 
safety pursuant to section 564(g)(2)(C) of the FD&C Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Non-NIOSH approved FFRs were previously recommended by CDC 
as a crisis capacity strategy when there was a severe shortage of 
NIOSH-approved FFRs available for healthcare personnel (HCP). 
Available information now shows an increase in the current and 
projected U.S. supply of NIOSH-approved respirators, including N95s 
(https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/topics/respirators/disp_part/N95list1.html). As such, on April 9 and May 27, 2021, CDC updated 
their recommendations to reflect that healthcare facilities should 
return to conventional capacity strategies and thus CDC no longer 
recommends the use of non-NIOSH-approved FFRs. On May 27, 2021, FDA 
also recommended that healthcare facilities and HCP ``transition 
away from crisis capacity conservation strategies, such as using 
non-NIOSH-approved disposable respirators, including imported 
respirators such as KN95s'' (https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/letters-health-care-providers/update-fda-recommends-transition-use-non-niosh-approved-and-decontaminated-disposable-respirators). In 
addition, on June 21, 2021 (86 FR 32376), OSHA issued an Emergency 
Temporary Standard (ETS) to adequately address the hazard of COVID-
19 for HCP. The ETS requires, among other things, healthcare 
employers to provide NIOSH-approved or FDA-authorized respirators 
for healthcare workers potentially exposed to COVID-19.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On June 30, 2021, FDA revoked the Authorizations for 
decontamination and bioburden reductions systems pursuant to requests 
from the following entities on the following dates:
     April 9, 2021, from Duke for the Duke Decontamination 
System;
     April 15, 2021, from Sterilucent, Inc. for the Sterilucent 
HC 80TT Hydrogen PeroxideSterilizer;
     April 16, 2021, from Yale for the Yale New Haven Health 
FFR Decontamination System;
     May 13, 2021, from STERIS Corporation for the STERIS 
Sterilization Systems, as well as the AMSCO Medium Steam Sterilizers + 
the STERIS STEAM Decon Cycle;
     May 25, 2021, from Stryker Sustainability Solutions (SSS) 
for the SSS VHP N95 Respirator Decontamination System;
     May 27, 2021 from MSU for the MSU Decontamination System;
     June 4, 2021, from Advanced Sterilization Products, Inc. 
for the ASP STERRAD Decontamination Systems;
     June 7, 2021, from Technical Safety Services LLC for the 
20-CS Decontamination System;
     June 7, 2021, from Roxby Development, LLC for the Zoe-Ann 
Decontamination System;
     June 7, 2021, from 3B Medical, Inc. for the Lumin LM3000 
Bioburden Reduction UV System;
     June 7, 2021, from Ecolab Inc. for the Bioquell Technology 
System; and
     June 8, 2021, from Stryker Instruments for the STERIZONE 
VP4 Sterilizer.
    Because these entities notified FDA that they have ceased 
operations and associated activities and request withdrawal of their 
respective Authorizations, and consistent with FDA's belief that the 
known and potential benefits of these systems, when used for their 
emergency use, no longer outweigh the known and potential risks of such 
use, FDA has determined that it is appropriate to revoke the 
Authorizations because the criteria for issuance of an EUA under 
section 564(c)(2)(B) of the Act are no longer met. Moreover, based on 
the same information, FDA has concluded under section 564(g)(2)(C) of 
the FD&C Act that other circumstances make revocation appropriate to 
protect the public health or safety.

revocations are available on the internet at https://www.regulations.gov/ and https://www.fda.gov/emergency-preparedness-and-response/mcm-legal-regulatory-and-policy-framework/emergency-use-authorization-archived-information#covid19.

IV. The Revocations
