Description

Document number 2020-01725. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, the Agency, or we) is classifying the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) drug resistance genotyping assay using next generation sequencing (NGS) technology into class II (special controls). The special controls that apply to the device type are identified in this order and will be part of the codified language for the HIV drug resistance genotyping assay using NGS technology's classification. We are taking this action because we have determined that classifying the device into class II (special controls) will provide a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of the device. We believe this action will also enhance patients' access to beneficial innovative devices, in part by reducing regulatory burdens.
