The FDA updated this web page to remove the following product codes from the shortages list:

Chest Drains, Suction Canisters, and Chest Drains with Autotransfusion Indications (product codes: KDQ and CAC)
	Tracheostomy Tube and Tube Cuff (product codes: JOH, BTO)The FDA also updated availability and estimated shortage duration times on Automated External Defibrillators, non-wearable and wearable (product codes: MKJ and MVK) and added devices associated with the following product codes to the discontinued list:

General ICU/Hospital Products (product code: OAY)
	Ventricular (Assist) Bypass (product code: DSQ)


The FDA publishes a device shortage list to provide transparency to the American public, particularly those who use or purchase medical devices. Section 506J of the FD&C Act requires the FDA to maintain a publicly available, up-to-date list of the devices determined to be in shortage. The medical device shortages list reflects the categories of devices the FDA has determined to be in shortage. The presence of a device type on this list does not necessarily indicate that patient care has been affected. In addition, the FDA provides a list of medical devices for which the FDA has been notified that manufacturing has been permanently discontinued.

The Resilient Supply Chain Program (RSCP) is responsible for managing CDRH's activities to anticipate and prevent disruptions to the supply chain for medical devices, including managing the medical device shortage list.

1. The FDA has determined, pursuant to section 506J(g)(3)(C) of the FD&C Act (titled "Public Health Exception"), that disclosure of the manufacturer's name of the devices determined to be in shortage during a public health emergency will adversely affect the public health such as by increasing the potential for hoarding or other disruptions in device availability to patients.

2. Information on availability and estimated shortage duration is based on the FDA's current analysis and may change as the situation evolves.

3. The FDA has provided clarification in the "date" column regarding changes in information on the device shortages list.

Initial: A device has been determined to be in shortage and added to the list
	Revised Estimated Duration: Change in the estimated duration of a device shortage
	Revised: Change in information to device already on the list (other than duration)
	Reverified: No change in the information; note this date reflects the most recent reverification and that interim verifications are not captured in the table4. On December 23, 2020, the FDA updated the shortage list so that the description for product code PPM includes pipette tips, in addition to general purpose reagents and in vitro diagnostic tests.

5. The FDA is still compiling and evaluating data on manufacturing and production capacity and will update the list when more data are available.

6. On January 19, 2022, the FDA updated the shortage list so the description for product codes GIM and JKA includes all blood specimen collection tubes, in addition to the sodium citrate tubes already on the shortage list.

7. There is a global shortage of semiconductor chips. These computer chips are essential building blocks for many products, including certain medical devices. The FDA provides information about what the FDA is doing to help medical device manufacturers with the global shortage of semiconductor chips.

Discontinuance List

As part of the list required to be established and maintained pursuant to section 506J(g) of the FD&C Act, the FDA is providing a separate, publicly available, up-to-date list of the devices that the FDA has been informed by the manufacturer have been permanently discontinued. The FDA will update this list when it receives additional information regarding device discontinuances.

Categories of devices in the discontinuance list are:

Clinical Chemistry Products
	General ICU/Hospital Products
	Infusion Pumps and Related Accessories
	Orthopedic
	Personal Protective Equipment
	Peritoneal Dialysis System and Accessories
