Abstract: This ICR collects information from medical device manufacturers, importers, and user facilities that are required to submit electronic and paper medical device reports (MDRs) to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and to maintain records, and who may also seek exemption from these requirements. The information that is obtained from these reports will be used to evaluate risks associated with medical devices and enable FDA to take appropriate regulatory measures to protect the public health. Complete, accurate, and timely adverse event information is necessary for the identification of emerging device problems so the Agency can protect the public health under the FD&C Act.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: This information collection has been adjusted. There has been an increase of 155,360 total burden hours and a corresponding increase of 1,566,458 total annual responses. This increase corresponds with data obtained from our database. In June 2019, the FDA formally ended the Alternative Summary Reporting (ASR) Program and revoked all such exemptions. As a result, manufacturers for which ASR's exemptions were revoked were then required to start submitting individual reports for each device associated event. This has resulted in an increase of the number of submissions.
