Description
Document number 2024-20896. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, Agency, or we) is classifying the device to detect or measure nucleic acid from viruses associated with head and neck cancers 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 device to detect or measure nucleic acid from viruses associated with head and neck cancers' 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.
