Abstract: Manufacturers receiving FDA orders to track a device, whose failure would likely have serious adverse health consequences, and which is implanted in humans for more than 1 year, or is life-sustaining or life-supporting and used outside a device user facility, are required to collect/maintain current tracking information about the identity and location of the device during distribution, and about the identity and location of patients receiving the device, including certain physician information. Distributors must report this data to manufacturers.
