FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Amber Sanford, Office of Operations, Food and Drug Administration, Three White Flint North, 10A–12M, 11601 Landsdown St., North Bethesda, MD 20852, 301–796–8867, PRAStaff@ fda.hhs.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3521), Federal Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. ‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed revision of an existing collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information set forth in this document. With respect to the following collection of information, FDA invites comments on these topics: (1) whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA’s functions, including whether the information will have practical PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 19491 utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information technology. Medical Device Reporting—21 CFR Part 803 OMB Control Number 0910–0437— Revision This information collection supports Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, programs, forms, and guidance. Section 519 of the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360i) (Records and Reports on Devices) requires user facilities, manufacturers, and importers of medical devices to report adverse events involving medical devices to FDA and requires that medical device manufacturers and importers submit medical device reports (MDRs) electronically. These provisions are codified at part 803 (21 CFR part 803)— Medical Device Reporting. The regulations also provide for recordkeeping requirements and certain exemptions and alternative reporting. Additionally, the regulations permit user facilities to submit paper-based annual reports, for which we have provided form FDA 3419 entitled, ‘‘Medical Device Reporting Annual User Facility Report.’’ Respondents are required to report adverse events involving medical devices to the FDA. The information that is obtained from these reports will be used to evaluate risks associated with medical devices and enable FDA to take appropriate regulatory measures to protect the public health. Complete, accurate, and timely adverse event information is necessary for the identification of emerging device problems so the agency can protect the public health under section 519 of the FD&C Act. FDA makes the releasable information available to the public for downloading on its website (https:// www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/ cfdocs/cfmaude/search.cfm). In an effort at reducing burden, we have developed the Voluntary Malfunction Summary Reporting (VMSR) Program for certain devices, which allows for respondent reporting of multiple malfunction events in a single report on a quarterly basis. The U:\08MYN1.SGM 08MYN1 19492 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 88 / Thursday, May 8, 2025 / Notices VMSR Program was established under section 519(a)(1)(B)(ii) of the FD&C Act. The associated FDA notification and order granting alternative entitled, ‘‘Medical Devices and Device-led Combination Products; Voluntary Malfunction Summary Reporting Program for Manufacturers’’ (83 FR 40973; 8/17/2018; https:// www.federalregister.gov/documents/ 2018/08/17/2018-17770/medicaldevices-and-device-led-combinationproducts-voluntary-malfunctionsummary-reporting-program) grants an alternative under § 803.19 to permit manufacturer reporting of certain device malfunctions in summary form on a quarterly basis. The associated FDA guidance entitled ‘‘Voluntary Malfunction Summary Reporting (VMSR) Program for Manufacturers’’ (August 2024; https://www.fda.gov/ media/163692/download) is intended to help manufacturers better understand and use the VMSR Program. The final order ‘‘Microbiology Devices; Reclassification of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Serological Diagnostic and Supplemental Tests and Human Immunodeficiency Virus Nucleic Acid Diagnostic and Supplemental Tests’’ (May 16, 2022; 87 FR 29661) established special controls for certain Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) serological diagnostic and supplemental tests (21 CFR 866.3956) and for HIV nucleic acid tests (NATs) diagnostic and supplemental tests (21 CFR 866.3957) to support their classification into class II, including Respondents are manufacturers and importers of medical devices and device user facilities. Device user facility means a hospital, ambulatory surgical facility, nursing home, outpatient diagnostic facility, or outpatient treatment facility as defined in § 803.3, which is not a physician’s office (also defined in § 803.3). Respondents are also sponsors (manufacturers) of deviceled combination products (see part 4, subpart B). Respondents also include manufacturers of HIV diagnostic and supplemental test devices. Manufacturer and importer respondents submit reports electronically using FDA Form 3500A (approved under OMB control number 0910–0291) via either ‘‘eSubmitter’’ for low-volume reporters or Health Level Seven (HL7) Individual Case Study Report (ICSR) (HL7 ICSR) for highvolume reporters. User facilities reporting under §§ 803.30 and 803.32 have the option of electronic or paperbased reporting. User facility annual reporting under § 803.33 is paper based, using form FDA 3419. Instructions for submitting the information are available in §§ 803.11, 803.12, and 803.20, and on FDA’s public website at https:// www.fda.gov/medical-devices/ postmarket-requirements-devices/ mandatory-reporting-requirementsmanufacturers-importers-and-deviceuser-facilities (links to forms FDA 3500A and FDA 3419 are provided on the web page). FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: submission of a log of all complaints annually for a period of 5 years following FDA clearance of a traditional premarket notification (510(k)) submission for these devices. (Information collections associated with premarket notification (510(k)) are approved under OMB control number 0910–0120.) Earlier notification through the submission of the complaint log enables us to more promptly determine whether public health issues have been adequately addressed. The agency would not otherwise evaluate the kind of complaint information that would be included in the log until an FDA inspection, which typically occurs less frequently than annually. Implementing these specific reporting measures as part of the special controls for these devices is necessary to provide a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness for HIV diagnostic and supplemental tests subject to the reclassification order. Provisions of part 4 subpart B (21 CFR part 4, subpart B), provide that when information regarding an event that involves a death or serious injury, or an adverse event, associated with the use of a combination product is received by the product sponsor, the information must be provided to the other constituent part applicant(s) no later than 5 calendar days after receipt. Part 4 also explains how and where to submit reports and provides for associated recordkeeping. These requirements are described in part 803.

Device-led combination product reporting and disclosure under part 4, subpart B, are included in the burden estimates. Based on FY2024 data for ‘‘Manufacturer Reporting 803.50 through 803.53,’’ we estimate 1,871 respondents and 2,320,393 total annual responses. The FDA notification and order granting alternative entitled, ‘‘Medical Devices and Device-led Combination Products; Voluntary Malfunction Summary Reporting Program for Manufacturers’’ grants an alternative under § 803.19 to permit manufacturer reporting of certain device malfunctions in summary form on a quarterly basis. The associated FDA guidance entitled ‘‘Voluntary Malfunction Summary Reporting (VMSR) Program for Manufacturers’’ (August 2024) is intended to help manufacturers better understand and use the VMSR Program. The Voluntary Malfunction Summary Reporting (VMSR) Program does not apply to reportable death or serious VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:48 May 07, 2025 Jkt 265001 injury events, which are required to be reported to FDA within the mandatory 30-calendar day timeframe, under §§ 803.50 and 803.52, or within the 5work day timeframe under § 803.53. Thus, if a manufacturer participating in the program becomes aware of information reasonably suggesting that a device it markets may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury, then the manufacturer must submit an individual MDR for that event because it involves a reportable death or serious injury. We expect that a summary report will take approximately the same amount of time to prepare as an individual report. Unlike manufacturers, device user facilities are not required to submit malfunction reports under part 803. User facilities, such as hospitals or nursing homes, are required to submit MDRs to FDA and/or the manufacturer only for reportable death or serious injury events. (See section 519(b) of the FD&C Act; 21 CFR 803.30(a).) We believe that by permitting alternative reporting for certain devices, the VMSR Program may reduce burden on respondents who elect to participate PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 and are otherwise subject to mandatory requirements. Special controls established in the final order ‘‘Microbiology Devices; Reclassification of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Serological Diagnostic and Supplemental Tests and Human Immunodeficiency Virus Nucleic Acid Diagnostic and Supplemental Tests’’ to support the class II classification of certain HIV serological diagnostic and supplemental tests (21 CFR 866.3956) and for HIV NATs diagnostic and supplemental tests (21 CFR 866.3957) require the submission of a log of all complaints annually for a period of 5 years following FDA clearance of a traditional premarket notification (510(k)) submission for these devices. (Information collections associated with premarket notification (510(k)) are approved under OMB control number 0910–0120.) Although manufacturers of HIV serological diagnostic and supplemental tests and HIV NAT diagnostic and supplemental tests are already required to maintain complaint files and to review and evaluate complaints for these devices under 21 U:\08MYN1.SGM 08MYN1 19494 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 88 / Thursday, May 8, 2025 / Notices CFR 820.198, special controls are necessary to provide a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of these devices. (Information collections associated with Quality System requirements under 21 CFR part 820 are approved under OMB control number 0910–0073.) We estimate it will take a manufacturer approximately 3 hours annually to review their existing records, prepare the complaint log, and submit to FDA. We assume a cost of $10 associated with the payment of an annual fee to maintain e-certification will apply to each respondent. We estimate a total operating and maintenance cost of $18,710 ($10 × 1,871 respondents). Since the last OMB approval, we have adjusted the respondent and response estimates based on FY 2024 data. We also adjusted the Average Burden per Response for ‘‘Exemptions—803.19’’ and ‘‘Importer Reporting, Death and Serious Injury—803.40 and 803.42’’ from 0.1 hour to 1 hour to correct an error introduced in a previous request for extension of this information collection. These adjustments have resulted in an overall increase of 1,374,708 total responses, and a corresponding increase of 262,681 total burden hours. We are revising this information collection to add the FDA guidance entitled ‘‘Voluntary Malfunction Summary Reporting (VMSR) Program for Manufacturers’’ (August 2024; https://www.fda.gov/media/163692/ download), which is intended to help manufacturers better understand and use the VMSR Program. The guidance does not affect the estimated burden estimates. Dated: May 5, 2025. Grace R. Graham, Deputy Commissioner for Policy, Legislation, and International Affairs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3521), Federal 
Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. 
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of 
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a 
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) 
requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal 
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including 
each proposed revision of an existing collection of information, before 
submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this 
requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection of 
information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA 
invites comments on these topics: (1) whether the proposed collection 
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's 
functions, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when 
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Medical Device Reporting--21 CFR Part 803

OMB Control Number 0910-0437--Revision

    This information collection supports Food and Drug Administration 
(FDA) regulations, programs, forms, and guidance. Section 519 of the 
Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360i) 
(Records and Reports on Devices) requires user facilities, 
manufacturers, and importers of medical devices to report adverse 
events involving medical devices to FDA and requires that medical 
device manufacturers and importers submit medical device reports (MDRs) 
electronically. These provisions are codified at part 803 (21 CFR part 
803)--Medical Device Reporting. The regulations also provide for 
recordkeeping requirements and certain exemptions and alternative 
reporting. Additionally, the regulations permit user facilities to 
submit paper-based annual reports, for which we have provided form FDA 
3419 entitled, ``Medical Device Reporting Annual User Facility 
Report.''
    Respondents are required to report adverse events involving medical 
devices to the FDA. The information that is obtained from these reports 
will be used to evaluate risks associated with medical devices and 
enable FDA to take appropriate regulatory measures to protect the 
public health. Complete, accurate, and timely adverse event information 
is necessary for the identification of emerging device problems so the 
agency can protect the public health under section 519 of the FD&C Act. 
FDA makes the releasable information available to the public for 
downloading on its website (https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfmaude/search.cfm).
    In an effort at reducing burden, we have developed the Voluntary 
Malfunction Summary Reporting (VMSR) Program for certain devices, which 
allows for respondent reporting of multiple malfunction events in a 
single report on a quarterly basis. The

[[Page 19492]]

VMSR Program was established under section 519(a)(1)(B)(ii) of the FD&C 
Act. The associated FDA notification and order granting alternative 
entitled, ``Medical Devices and Device-led Combination Products; 
Voluntary Malfunction Summary Reporting Program for Manufacturers'' (83 
FR 40973; 8/17/2018; https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/08/17/2018-17770/medical-devices-and-device-led-combination-products-voluntary-malfunction-summary-reporting-program) grants an alternative 
under Sec.  803.19 to permit manufacturer reporting of certain device 
malfunctions in summary form on a quarterly basis. The associated FDA 
guidance entitled ``Voluntary Malfunction Summary Reporting (VMSR) 
Program for Manufacturers'' (August 2024; https://www.fda.gov/media/163692/download) is intended to help manufacturers better understand 
and use the VMSR Program.
    The final order ``Microbiology Devices; Reclassification of Human 
Immunodeficiency Virus Serological Diagnostic and Supplemental Tests 
and Human Immunodeficiency Virus Nucleic Acid Diagnostic and 
Supplemental Tests'' (May 16, 2022; 87 FR 29661) established special 
controls for certain Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) serological 
diagnostic and supplemental tests (21 CFR 866.3956) and for HIV nucleic 
acid tests (NATs) diagnostic and supplemental tests (21 CFR 866.3957) 
to support their classification into class II, including submission of 
a log of all complaints annually for a period of 5 years following FDA 
clearance of a traditional premarket notification (510(k)) submission 
for these devices. (Information collections associated with premarket 
notification (510(k)) are approved under OMB control number 0910-0120.)
    Earlier notification through the submission of the complaint log 
enables us to more promptly determine whether public health issues have 
been adequately addressed. The agency would not otherwise evaluate the 
kind of complaint information that would be included in the log until 
an FDA inspection, which typically occurs less frequently than 
annually. Implementing these specific reporting measures as part of the 
special controls for these devices is necessary to provide a reasonable 
assurance of safety and effectiveness for HIV diagnostic and 
supplemental tests subject to the reclassification order.
    Provisions of part 4 subpart B (21 CFR part 4, subpart B), provide 
that when information regarding an event that involves a death or 
serious injury, or an adverse event, associated with the use of a 
combination product is received by the product sponsor, the information 
must be provided to the other constituent part applicant(s) no later 
than 5 calendar days after receipt. Part 4 also explains how and where 
to submit reports and provides for associated recordkeeping. These 
requirements are described in part 803.
    Respondents are manufacturers and importers of medical devices and 
device user facilities. Device user facility means a hospital, 
ambulatory surgical facility, nursing home, outpatient diagnostic 
facility, or outpatient treatment facility as defined in Sec.  803.3, 
which is not a physician's office (also defined in Sec.  803.3). 
Respondents are also sponsors (manufacturers) of device-led combination 
products (see part 4, subpart B). Respondents also include 
manufacturers of HIV diagnostic and supplemental test devices.
    Manufacturer and importer respondents submit reports electronically 
using FDA Form 3500A (approved under OMB control number 0910-0291) via 
either ``eSubmitter'' for low-volume reporters or Health Level Seven 
(HL7) Individual Case Study Report (ICSR) (HL7 ICSR) for high-volume 
reporters. User facilities reporting under Sec. Sec.  803.30 and 803.32 
have the option of electronic or paper-based reporting. User facility 
annual reporting under Sec.  803.33 is paper based, using form FDA 
3419. Instructions for submitting the information are available in 
Sec. Sec.  803.11, 803.12, and 803.20, and on FDA's public website at 
https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/postmarket-requirements-devices/mandatory-reporting-requirements-manufacturers-importers-and-device-user-facilities (links to forms FDA 3500A and FDA 3419 are provided on 
the web page).

    Upon review of this information collection, we updated the burden 
estimates based on internal data regarding MDRs received by FDA for 
fiscal year (FY) 2024. Device-led combination product reporting and 
disclosure under part 4, subpart B, are included in the burden 
estimates. Based on FY2024 data for ``Manufacturer Reporting 803.50 
through 803.53,'' we estimate 1,871 respondents and 2,320,393 total 
annual responses.
    The FDA notification and order granting alternative entitled, 
``Medical Devices and Device-led Combination Products; Voluntary 
Malfunction Summary Reporting Program for Manufacturers'' grants an 
alternative under Sec.  803.19 to permit manufacturer reporting of 
certain device malfunctions in summary form on a quarterly basis. The 
associated FDA guidance entitled ``Voluntary Malfunction Summary 
Reporting (VMSR) Program for Manufacturers'' (August 2024) is intended 
to help manufacturers better understand and use the VMSR Program. The 
Voluntary Malfunction Summary Reporting (VMSR) Program does not apply 
to reportable death or serious injury events, which are required to be 
reported to FDA within the mandatory 30-calendar day timeframe, under 
Sec. Sec.  803.50 and 803.52, or within the 5-work day timeframe under 
Sec.  803.53. Thus, if a manufacturer participating in the program 
becomes aware of information reasonably suggesting that a device it 
markets may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury, 
then the manufacturer must submit an individual MDR for that event 
because it involves a reportable death or serious injury. We expect 
that a summary report will take approximately the same amount of time 
to prepare as an individual report.
    Unlike manufacturers, device user facilities are not required to 
submit malfunction reports under part 803. User facilities, such as 
hospitals or nursing homes, are required to submit MDRs to FDA and/or 
the manufacturer only for reportable death or serious injury events. 
(See section 519(b) of the FD&C Act; 21 CFR 803.30(a).) We believe that 
by permitting alternative reporting for certain devices, the VMSR 
Program may reduce burden on respondents who elect to participate and 
are otherwise subject to mandatory requirements.
    Special controls established in the final order ``Microbiology 
Devices; Reclassification of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Serological 
Diagnostic and Supplemental Tests and Human Immunodeficiency Virus 
Nucleic Acid Diagnostic and Supplemental Tests'' to support the class 
II classification of certain HIV serological diagnostic and 
supplemental tests (21 CFR 866.3956) and for HIV NATs diagnostic and 
supplemental tests (21 CFR 866.3957) require the submission of a log of 
all complaints annually for a period of 5 years following FDA clearance 
of a traditional premarket notification (510(k)) submission for these 
devices. (Information collections associated with premarket 
notification (510(k)) are approved under OMB control number 0910-0120.) 
Although manufacturers of HIV serological diagnostic and supplemental 
tests and HIV NAT diagnostic and supplemental tests are already 
required to maintain complaint files and to review and evaluate 
complaints for these devices under 21

[[Page 19494]]

CFR 820.198, special controls are necessary to provide a reasonable 
assurance of safety and effectiveness of these devices. (Information 
collections associated with Quality System requirements under 21 CFR 
part 820 are approved under OMB control number 0910-0073.) We estimate 
it will take a manufacturer approximately 3 hours annually to review 
their existing records, prepare the complaint log, and submit to FDA.
    We assume a cost of $10 associated with the payment of an annual 
fee to maintain e-certification will apply to each respondent. We 
estimate a total operating and maintenance cost of $18,710 ($10 x 1,871 
respondents).
    Since the last OMB approval, we have adjusted the respondent and 
response estimates based on FY 2024 data. We also adjusted the Average 
Burden per Response for ``Exemptions--803.19'' and ``Importer 
Reporting, Death and Serious Injury--803.40 and 803.42'' from 0.1 hour 
to 1 hour to correct an error introduced in a previous request for 
extension of this information collection. These adjustments have 
resulted in an overall increase of 1,374,708 total responses, and a 
corresponding increase of 262,681 total burden hours.
    We are revising this information collection to add the FDA guidance 
entitled ``Voluntary Malfunction Summary Reporting (VMSR) Program for 
Manufacturers'' (August 2024; https://www.fda.gov/media/163692/download), which is intended to help manufacturers better understand 
and use the VMSR Program. The guidance does not affect the estimated 
burden estimates.

    Dated: May 5, 2025.

Deputy Commissioner for Policy, Legislation, and International Affairs.
