FOREWORD
In October 1982, the Food and Drug Administration established the Center for Devices
and Radiological Health (CDRH) by merging the Bureau of Medical Devices and the Bureau
of Radiological Health.
The Center develops and implements national programs to protect the public health
in the fields of medical devices and radiological health. These programs are intended to
assure the safety, effectiveness and proper labeling of medical devices, to control unnecessary human exposure to potentially hazardous ionizing and nonionizing radiation, and to
ensure the safe, efficacious use of such radiation.
The Center publishes the results of its work in scientific journals and in its own technical reports. These reports provide a mechanism for disseminating results of CDRH and
contractor projects. They are sold by the Government Printing Office and/or the National
Technical Information Service.
Also, CDRH technical reports in radiological health are made available to the World
Health Organization (WHO) under a memorandum of agreement between WHO and the
Department of Health and Human Services. Three WHO Collaborating Centers, established under the Bureau of Radiological Health, continue to function under CDRH:
WHO Collaborating Center for Standardization of Protection Against Nonionizing
Radiations;
WHO Collaborating Center for Training and General Tasks in Radiation Medicine;
and
WHO Collaborating Center for Nuclear Medicine.
We welcome your comments and requests for further information.

PREFACE
Manufacturers of products subject to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act
of 1968 are required to furnish various reports to the Center for Devices and Radiological
Health. This guide is for use by manufacturers of medical ultraviolet lamps and products
intended to incorporate these lamps.
The reporting and recordkeeping requirements are specified in Part 1002, Title 21
CFR Chapter I, Subchapter J. Section 1002.10 of the Regulations requires the submission of an initial and model change report for products listed in Section 1002.61(a)(4). All
initial and model change reports must be submitted in accordance with Section 1002.10
and 1002.12, prior to the introduction of the product into U.S. commerce. (This includes
products imported into the U.S.)
Section 1002.7 requires that reports conform to the organization and item enumeration of the guide to ensure the inclusion of the information requested. This will facilitate
review and minimize followup correspondence.

GUIDE FOR PREPARING INITIAL REPORTS AND MODEL CHANGE REPORTS
ON MEDICAL ULTRAVIOLET LAMPS
AND PRODUCTS CONTAINING SUCH LAMPS
(21 CFR 1002.10 and 1002.12)
INTRODUCTION
This guide has been prepared to assist manufacturers of medical ultraviolet lamps
and products intended to incorporate these lamps in the preparation of initial and model
change reports. These reports are required if such products are intended for the irradiation
of any part of the living human body by light of wavelength in air less than 320 nanometers
to perform a diagnostic or therapeutic function. The intended use of the product for the functions mentioned above is determined by the labeling statements (including advertisements and
product description) by the manufacturer, and from an analysis of the design and use of the
product.
An initial report is required for each model bearing a separate model number. If there
is a model series and the different models in that series have minor differences which do
not in any way alter the radiation safety characteristics, a complete report on one of the
models followed by supplemental reports on the others will be adequate. Supplemental
reports should respond to the appropriate parts of the guideline. Where there is no change
from a prior report this fact may be so stated. Report the changes in detail and reference
the number of the affected item. However, the supplement must clearly indicate the items
of the part which have not been changed.
Manufacturers who do not manufacture the ultraviolet lamps for their products need
not respond to Part 4 of the guide.
Many of the responses solicited by this guide can be made in the space provided.
Where attachments are required, so indicate in the space provided in the body of the
guide. Attachments should be numbered the same as the specific item of this guide to
which they are addressed. For example, an attachment responding to Item 2.2 should be
labeled Attachment 2.2.
Your reports and report supplements are to be submitted to:
CENTER FOR DEVICES AND RADIOLOGICAL HEALTH
DOCUMENT MAIL CENTER – WO66-G609

10903 NEW HAMPSHIRE AVENUE
SILVER SPRING, MD 20993-0002

APPENDIX
SPECTRORADIOMETRIC MEASUREMENTS AND TESTING PROCEDURES
There are several ways to determine radiometric values which, when correctly executed,
yield the same physical values. CDRH does not insist that any one method be used. We offer
the following suggestions only to help in establishing the important parameters. Physically
valid alternatives are, of course, acceptable.
Measurements, whose results are reported, should be performed using generallyaccepted radiometric principles and techniques. The information should be reported in
spectral irradiance values [W/(cm2 nm)]. All measurements should be made on the entire
device consisting of the light source and any related housing or attachments manufactured
or assembled for sale in the configuration in which they are intended to be used. However,
if the product has components such as a stand or some other component which does not
in any way alter the optical performance of the device, then these may be removed before
the device is measured. If the ultraviolet lamp must be mounted in some other housing
in order to facilitate the measurements, this should be done in such a manner that the
optical performance of the lamp is unchanged.
It is recommended that spectroradiometric measurements on the product be made as
follows:
The spectroradiometric measurements on the product should be made at the recommended minimum use distance from the product on an optic axis in the direction of the
maximum emission from the product. If more than one such direction exists, choose the one
that relates most closely to the intended uses and normal mounting configuration of the
product. The measurements on the continuum part of the spectrum should be made at
intervals of 1 nanometer (nm) in the ultraviolet wavelength region below 400 nm in which
the device emits. In addition, the spectral lines in the emission should be measured with
sufficiently narrow spectral bandpass so as to adequately measure the level of radiation
being emitted in those lines.
The measurements should be made with instruments calibrated against standards
of spectral irradiance. These standards should have been calibrated either by U.S. National
Bureau of Standards (NBS) or by another laboratory against standards calibrated by NBS
using NBS-recommended or generally-accepted techniques.
The standards should be used immediately before and after the measurements on the
product. Alternatively, if the standard is usually referred to after every reading while
scanning the wavelength scale, that method may be used. The result should be reported
in spectral irradiance values [W/(cm2 nm)].
CDRH generally recommends 100 percent testing of products in determination of compliance. For some tests and inspections, a sampling plan may be appropriate, i.e., use
of sampling procedure whereby release of noncomplying products is prevented by testing
less than 100 percent of the units produced. Results from acceptable statistical sampling
procedures may be used in answering many of the questions in Part 4. Examples of sampling plans are contained in MIL-Std-105D and MIL-Std-414.
