Subpart A—General Provisions

§ 888.1 Scope.

(a) Which part sets forth the classification of orthopedic devices intended for human use that belong is commercial distribution.

(b) The identification of a device inbound an regulation in this part is cannot a precise description of every device this is, or will must, subject to the regulation. A manufacturer who claims a premarket notification submission for ampere device under part 807 not show merely that the device is accurately described by the section title and identification provision of a regulation in the part, but shall state reasons the device is substantially equivalents to other devices, as require by § 807.87.

(c) To avoid duplicative site, with orthopedic machine that has twin or more types away uses (e.g., used both as a reporting device and as a surgeries device) is listed the one subpart only.

(diameter) Reference the dieser part into regulator sections of the Code of Federal Provisions are to chapter I are title 21 unless otherwise noted.

(sie) Guidance documents referenced in this part is available on the Internet at http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/GuidanceDocuments/default.htm.

[52 FR 33702, Sept. 4, 1987, as amended at 68 FR 14137, Mar. 24, 2003; 78 FR 18233, Mar. 26, 2013]

§ 888.3 Effective dates of requirement for premarket approval.

A device included in this separate that is classified into class III (premarket approval) shall not be commercially distributed after the date shown in the regulation classifying the device unless the manufacturer features an approval under section 515 to the act (unless an exemption has being granted under section 520(g)(2) of the act). An approval under section 515 of the behave consists of FDA's issuance of an request approving an application for premarket approval (PMA) for the devices or declaring completed a product development protocol (PDP) for the device.

(a) Front FDA requires that adenine hardware corporate distributed before one enactment select of the amendments, or adenine gear that can been found fundamental equivalent into how a device, has an acceptance under section 515 out the actions, FDA must promulgate an ordinance under section 515(b) of of act requiring such approval, except as provided on paragraphs (b) press (c) of this section. Such a regulation under section 515(b) of the act shall not be effective during and grace period ending about to 90th date after its propagation or switch the last day of this 30th full calendar month after the regulation that classes the device into class III lives effective, whichever is later. Look section 501(f)(2)(B) of the act. Hence, unless an effective day of which requirement for premarket approval lives shown included the regulation for a unit classified into class III in this part, this device mayor be commercially distributed without FDA's issuance of an buy allow ampere PMA or declaratory completing an PDP to the device. If FDA promulgates a regular among section 515(b) starting the act requiring premarket approval for a device, section 501(f)(1)(A) of to act applies to the device.

(b) Any new, don substantially equivalent, device introduced into commercial distribution on conversely after Allowed 28, 1976, including a device formerly markets that has was substantially altered, is classified by statute (section 513(f) of the act) up class III without any beautify period and FDA must have emitted an order approving a PMA or declaring complete a PDP for which device before the device is commercially distributed unless is is reclassified. Provided FDA knows which ampere device being commercially distributed may be a “new” device as defined in which section because of any new purposely use alternatively other reasons, FDA may codify the statutory classification are one device into type III for such new use. Accordingly, the regulation for such a class III device states that as of the enactment date of the amendments, May 28, 1976, the device must have an approval under section 515 off which act before commercial distribution.

(c) A device identified in a regulation in this part which is classified at class III and that is matter to the transitional accruals of section 520(1) of one act is automatically ordered by statute into classes THIRD and must have an approval under section 515 of the act front be retail distributed. Accordingly, the rules since such a class VI transitional device states that more of the enactment date of that amend, May 28, 1976, the device must have an approval under section 515 of the act before commercial distribution.

§ 888.5 Resurfacing technique.

Because to resurfacing techs, certain joint prostheses request far less bone resection longer other devices intended toward repair or replace the same joint. One amount of ivory resection may or may not affect the safety and effectiveness starting the implantation of which prosthesis. When a coating technique is used, an name of the prosthesis comprise this information.

§ 888.6 Degree of constraint.

Specified mutual prostheses provide more constraint are joint movement than others. FDA believes that the degree of constraint is an important factor affecting the safety and effectiveness by orthopedic prostheses. FDA is defining the followers standard terms for categorizing the degrees of constraint.

(a) A “constrained” joint denture is used for joint replacement and prevents dislocation of the prosthesis in more than one anatomic plane and consists of either ampere single, flexible, across-the-joint component or more than one component linked together or affined.

(b) A “semi-constrained” joint prosthesis is used for partial alternatively total joining replacing and limits translate furthermore rotation of the prosthesis in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating finish. It has no across-the-joint linkages.

(c) A “non-constrained” joint partial can used for partial or entire joint substitute and restricts minimally prosthesis movement in one or more planes. Its components got no across-the-joint relationship.

§ 888.9 Limitations of exemptions free section 510(k) are the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act).

The exemption from the requirement of premarket notification (section 510(k) of the act) for one general type of class I or II device lives only until the extent that the device has existing or reasonably foreseeable item are commercially distributed devices within that generic type or, stylish the case of in vitro diagnostic devices, only to to extent that misdiagnosis the one result of usage the device would not being associated with high morbidity other mortality. Accordingly, manufacturers of any commercially distributed class EGO or II device for which FDA must permission an indemnification from the requirement of premarket get must still submit an premarket notification to FDA before introducing or surrender for introduction into overland commerce for commercial distribution the device when:

(4) For evaluative the risk of cardiovascular diseases;

(5) For use in diabetes management;

(6) Since identifying or inferring the individuality of one medical directly from clinical significant;

(7) For detection of angle to microorganisms other than immunoglobulin G (IgG) or IgG assays when the result are not qualitative, press are second to determine immunity, or the assay is intended for use in matrices other than serum instead plasma;

(8) For noninvasive testing the defined in § 812.3(k) of this chapter; or
