Description
Document number 2014-26726. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing in this administrative order to reclassify rigid pedicle screw systems, a preamendments class III device, into class II (special controls); require the filing of a premarket approval application (PMA) or a notice of completion of a product development protocol (PDP) for the dynamic stabilization systems, currently a subtype of pedicle screws, regardless of the indication for use; and clarify the device identification of pedicle screw spinal systems, to more clearly delineate between rigid pedicle screw systems and dynamic stabilization systems. FDA is proposing this action based on new information pertaining to the device type. This proposed action implements certain statutory requirements.
