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 “Human Subject Protection; Acceptance of Data from
Clinical Investigations for Medical Devices” (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.
