This information
collection request is approved subject to the following: 1) FDA
will evaluate the feasability of accepting 510(k) submissions
electronically and on floppy disks to further reduce the reporting
burden and to facilitate the 510(k) review, 2) FDA will determine
whether there are submissions that would more appropriately be
called technical amendments to prior submissions (e.g., a request
to change the connector size for a device that would not alter how
the device functions) and if such amendments could be handled in a
simpler way, perhaps through a letter to the file, and 3) On the
basis of these efforts, FDA should make appropriate changes in the
510(k) review process and the next information collection
request.
