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.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The burden hours and responses have been adjusted as the result of re-estimating and re-evaluating submissions and tracking data by the agency. FDA attributes the reduction to the decreased number of tracking orders issued since original estimates were provided. More specifically, while the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990 required tracking by all manufacturers of certain devices, FDAMA (enacted in 1997) provides that devices subject to tracking would be determined at the Agency's discretion and only upon order by FDA.
