This ICR collects information from manufactures who wish to obtain "Humanitarian Use Device" (HUD) designation for a medical device and marketing approval for the HUD notwithstanding the absence of reasonable assurance of effectiveness that would otherwise be required. To the extent consistent with the protection of the public health and safety and with ethical standards, this program encourages the discovery and use of devices intended to benefit patients in the treatment or diagnosis of diseases or conditions that affect or are manifested in fewer than 4,000 individuals in the United States per year. Obtaining marketing approval for a HUD involves two steps: (1) Obtaining designation of the device as a HUD from FDA's Office of Orphan Products Development and (2) submitting a Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) application to the Office of Device Evaluation (ODE), Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), or the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), as applicable. A person granted an exemption must submit periodic reports.
We have also updated the burden estimate consistent with new provisions in §814.104(b)(4)(i)) regarding âHuman Subject Protection; Acceptance of Data from Clinical Investigations for Medical Devicesâ (83 FR 7366; February 21, 2018) (approved under OMB control number 0910-0741). Section 814.104 is being amended to address submission of data from clinical investigations in a Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE). To the extent the applicant includes data from clinical investigations, the applicant will be required to include the information and statements as described in § 814.104(b)(4)(i). Consistent with our estimate in OMB control number 0910-0741, this revision increases our burden estimate for a Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) by 8 hours per submission. These adjustments have resulted in an overall increase of 5,803 hours to the total estimated burden.
