Agency: Food and Drug Administration, Department of Health and Human Services
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is classifying the mass spectrometer system for clinical use for the identification of microorganisms into class II (special controls). The special controls that apply to the device type are identified in this order and will be part of the codified language for the mass spectrometer system for clinical use for the identification of microorganisms' classification. We are taking this action because we have determined that classifying the device into class II (special controls) will provide a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of the device. We believe this action will also enhance patients' access to beneficial innovative devices, in part by reducing regulatory burdens.
Trand Doan Nguyen; Denial of Hearing; Final Debarment Order
Document Number: 2017-23019
Type: Notice
Date: 2017-10-24
Agency: Food and Drug Administration, Department of Health and Human Services
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is denying Trang Doan Nguyen's (Nguyen's) request for a hearing and is issuing an order under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) debarring Nguyen for 5 years from providing services in any capacity to a person that has an approved or pending drug product application. FDA bases this order on a finding that Nguyen was convicted of a misdemeanor under Federal law for conduct relating to the development or approval of a drug product or otherwise relating the regulation of a drug product under the FD&C Act and that the type of conduct underlying the conviction undermines the process for the regulation of drugs. In determining the appropriateness and period of Nguyen's debarment, FDA has considered the relevant factors listed in the FD&C Act. Nguyen has failed to file with the Agency information and analyses sufficient to create a basis for a hearing concerning this action.
