This ICR collects information from
reprocessors of single-use devices (SUDs). If the original SUD or
an attachment to it prominently and conspicuously bears the name of
the manufacturer, then the reprocessor of the SUD is required to
identify itself by name, abbreviation, or symbol, in a prominent
and conspicuous manner on the device or attachment to the device.
Information concerning the identification of the name of a
reprocessor of single-use devices is necessary so that users do not
misattribute adverse events associated with a reprocessed device to
the original manufacturer. When reporting adverse events involving
the use of reprocessed single-use devices, health care providers
may mistakenly believe that the reprocessed device is a new product
from the original manufacturer of the device and not from the
reprocessor. The information and records generated under this
labeling requirement will be used so that physicians, hospital
staff, and patients can associate a particular device with a
particular manufacturer. This is especially important in the event
of a recall, warning, patient injury, or product
malfunction.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification

(i) Why the information is being collected;

(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
