This ICR collects information from
manufacturers, importers, and distributors of medical devices to
disclose to health professionals and consumers specific information
about themselves or their devices on the label or labeling of their
devices. The primary users of the information disclosed on the
label or in the labeling of devices are the health professionals
who use or prescribe the device or the lay consumers who use the
device. The labeling should contain sufficient information for
these persons to use the device safely and effectively. FDA may use
the information to determine whether there is reasonable assurance
of the safety and effectiveness of the device for its intended
use.
The estimated annual hourly
burden, formerly estimated as 3,784,684 hours (422,207
recordkeeping and 3,362,477 third-party disclosure) has increased
by 6,888,735 hours (1,806,694 recordkeeping and 5,082,041
third-party disclosure) to a total estimated annual hourly burden
of 10,673,419 hours (2,236,101 recordkeeping and 8,437,318
third-party disclosure). The increase is due to adjustments
reflecting updated data and to corrections made at Agency
discretion to increase the accuracy of our estimate.
