The information collection requirements in 21 CFR Part 806 require each device manufacturer or importer to submit a written report to FDA of any action to correct or remove a device which may present a risk to health within 10-working days of initiating such correction or removal. The Information Collection also requires that each device manufacturer or importer of a device who initiates a correction or removal of a device that is not required to be reported to FDA, shall keep a record of such correction or removal.
Adjustments:
The average annual number of reporting respondents has increased since the last approval from 666 to 1,033. This adjustment resulted in an increase of 3,670 hours to the reporting burden.
The average annual number of recordkeeping respondents has increased since the last approval from 90 to 93. This adjustment resulted in an increase of 30 hours to the recordkeeping burden.
Revision:
Additionally, FDA is revising this ICR making available an electronic Web-based process for submitting reports of corrections and removals. We have therefore added a line-item to the reporting burden table for set-up of the electronic process. This resulted in an additional increase of 5,918 hours.
We have also accounted for the purchase of a 1 to 3 year digital verification certificate for respondents who use the new electronic process. This has resulted in an increase of $30,660 in the operating and maintenance cost.
