This information collection was
established as a special control for the class II device type,
Novel Influenza A Reagents. This classification results from the
review of a request from a device sponsor (CDC) for a diagnostic
test intended to diagnose influenza subtype H5 (Asian lineage),
commonly known as avian flu. This classification permits the legal
distribution of this device, and the information collection
addressed here plays a significant role in providing a reasonable
assurance of the safety and effectiveness of this device and of
similar future devices. Specifically, the information collection
asks sponsors to obtain and analyze data postmarket to ensure the
continued reliability of the device, given the propensity of
influenza viruses to mutate and the potential for changes in
disease prevalence. This involves collecting data on the clinical
performance of the device under new prevalence conditions if there
is a change in prevalence of influenza caused by the specific novel
virus that the device is intended to detect, as compared to the
prevalence of this virus when the clinical studies described in the
510(k) were conducted. The information collection described above
is a measure that FDA determined to be necessary to provide
reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of Novel Influenza
A Reagents.
