of children in foster care, the reasons
they enter and exit care, and how to
prevent their unnecessary placement in
foster care. Specifically, the data
include information about children who
enter foster care, their entries and exits,

request is unrelated to any potential
new regulatory activity that may occur
subsequently. This request is for public

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
This guidance document provides
recommendations that may help
manufacturers comply with the special
controls related to non-clinical
performance data for gynecologic and
general laparoscopic power
morcellation containment systems
(‘‘tissue containment systems’’). Tissue
containment systems are used to enable
isolation and containment of tissue
during a power morcellation procedure
performed following a laparoscopic
procedure for the excision of benign
tissue that is not suspected to contain
malignancy. This guidance recommends
non-clinical test methods that may help
manufacturers meet the non-clinical
performance data requirements
identified in the special controls
codified in § 884.4050(b)(4) (21 CFR
884.4050(b)(4)) (for gynecologic use)
and § 878.4825(b)(4) (21 CFR
878.4825(b)(4)) (for general use), and
also includes other non-clinical testing
recommendations to support a 510(k)
submission/substantial equivalence
determination. The recommendations in
this guidance are based on FDA’s
experience evaluating the safety and
effectiveness of tissue containment
systems. However, manufacturers may
use alternative approaches and provide
different documentation so long as their
approach and documentation satisfy
premarket submission requirements in
applicable statutory provisions and
regulations.
A notice of availability of the draft
guidance appeared in the Federal
Register of June 21, 2022 (87 FR 36859).
FDA considered comments received and
revised the guidance as appropriate in
response to the comments, including a
clarification that material permeability
testing is recommended to aid in
demonstrating substantial equivalence
but is not required in the special
controls in § 884.4050(b)(4) and
§ 878.4825(b)(4); specifying that aged
samples may be subject to accelerated or
real time aging; and indicating that a
manufacturer conducting final finished
testing of a tissue containment system
with multiple device sizes may use the
worst-case size sample(s), but, if doing
so, should provide a justification for the
E:\FR\FM\26MYN1.SGM
26MYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 102 / Friday, May 26, 2023 / Notices
choice of worst-case size sample(s) in its
submission.
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 ‘‘Non-Clinical
Performance Assessment of Tissue
Containment Systems Used During
Power Morcellation Procedures.’’ 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
use the document number GUI00019015
and complete title to identify the
guidance you are requesting.
III. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
While this guidance contains no new
collection of information, it does refer to
previously approved FDA collections 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 for this guidance.
The previously approved collections of
information are subject to review by
OMB under the PRA. The collections of
information in the following FDA
regulations, guidance, and forms have
been approved by OMB as listed in the
