Abstract: This ICR collects information from medical device manufactures who wish to use selected symbols in place of text in the labeling of in vitro diagnostic devices (IVDs) intended for professional use. FDA's guidance document "Use of Symbols on Labels and in Labeling of In Vitro Diagnostic Devices Intended for Professional Use" recommends that a glossary of terms accompany each IVD to define the symbols used on that device's labels and/or labeling. Furthermore, the guidance recommends an educational outreach effort to enhance the understanding of newly introduced symbols. Both the glossary and educational outreach information will help to ensure that IVD users will have enough general familiarity with the symbols used, as well as provide a quick reference for available materials, thereby further ensuring that such labeling satisfies the applicable labeling requirements.
