This ICR collects information from
manufacturers, importers, distributors, and retailers of medical
devices to provide information, requests, or reports related to
mandatory recall. The primary use of the information disclosed to
FDA is to ensure that all devices entering the market are safe and
effective, to accurately and immediately detect serious problems
with medical devices, and to remove dangerous and defective devices
from the market. A firm may initiate a voluntary recall of a
violative device without FDA intervention. However, if FDA
determines that such a voluntary recall is not effective in
remedying a violation and there remains a reasonable probability
that the violative device would cause serious adverse health
consequences or death, FDA will invoke the medical device recall
authority in addition to the voluntary efforts that the
manufacturer has already undertaken.
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
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
