Medical Device Labeling Regulations—21 CFR Parts 800, 801, and 809 (OMB Control Number 0910-0485)—Extension
https://www.federalregister.gov/d/05-6405
Section 502 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 352), among other things, establishes requirements for the label or labeling of a medical device so that it is not misbranded and subject to regulatory action. Certain provisions of section 502 of the act require that manufacturers, importers, and distributors of medical devices disclose information about themselves or their devices on the labels or labeling of the devices. Section 502(b) of the act requires that, if the device is in a package, the label must contain the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor and an accurate statement of the quantity of the contents. Section 502(f) of the act provides that the labeling of a device must contain adequate directions for use. FDA may grant an exemption from the adequate directions for use requirement, if FDA determines that adequate directions for use are not necessary for the protection of the public health.
FDA regulations in parts 800, 801, and 809 (21 CFR parts 800, 801, and 809) require manufacturers, importers, and distributors of medical devices to disclose to health professionals and consumers specific information about themselves or their devices on the label or labeling of their devices. FDA issued these regulations under the authority of sections 201, 301, 502, and 701 of the act (21 U.S.C. 321, 331, 352, and 371). Most of the regulations in parts 800, 801, and 809 derive from the requirements of section 502 of the act, which provides, in part, that a device shall be misbranded if, among other things, its label or labeling fails to bear certain required information concerning the device, is false or misleading in any particular way, or fails to contain adequate directions for use.
Section 800.12 requires that packages of contact lens cleaning solutions include a tamper-resistant feature to prevent malicious adulteration. Sections 800.10(a)(3) and 800.12(c) require that the label of contact lens cleaning solutions contain a prominent statement alerting consumers to the tamper-resistant feature.
Section 800.10(b)(2) requires that the labeling of liquid ophthalmic preparations packed in multiple-dose containers include information as to duration of use and necessary warnings to afford adequate protection from contamination during use.
Section 801.1 requires that the label of a device in package form contain the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor.
Section 801.5 requires that the labeling of devices include directions under which the layman can use a device safely and for the purposes for which it is intended. Section 801.4 defines “intended use”. Where necessary, the labeling should include: (1) Statements of all conditions, purposes, or uses for which the device is intended, unless the device is a prescription device subject to the requirements of § 801.109; (2) quantity of dose; (3) frequency of administration or application; (4) duration of administration or application; (5) time of administration, e.g. in relation to meals, onset of symptoms, etc.; (6) route of method or application; and (7) preparation for use.
Section 801.61 requires that the principal display panel of an over-the-counter (OTC) device in package form must include a statement of the identity of the device. The statement of the identity of the device must include the common name of the device followed by an accurate statement of the principal intended actions of the device.
Section 801.62 requires that the label of an OTC device in package form must include a declaration of the net quantity of contents. The label must express the net quantity in terms of weight, measure, numerical count, or a combination of numerical count and weight, measure, or size.
Section 801.109 establishes labeling requirements for prescription devices. A prescription device is defined as a device which, because of its potential for harmful effect, the method of its use or the collateral measures necessary to its use, is not safe except under the supervision of a practitioner licensed by law to use the device and, therefore, for which adequate directions for use by a layperson cannot be developed.
The label of the device must include: (1) The statement “Caution: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a ‘______’ ”. The blank is to be filled in by a term such as “physician,” “dentist,” or other appropriate term; and (2) the method of its application or use.
Labeling must include information for use, including indications, effects, routes, methods, frequency and duration of administration, and any relevant hazards, contraindications, side effects, and precautions under which practitioners licensed by law to administer the device can use the device safely and for the purpose for which it is intended, including all purposes for which it is advertised or represented.
Information may be omitted from the dispensing package if, but only if, the article is a device for which directions, hazards, warnings, and other information are commonly known to practitioners licensed by law to use the device.
Section 801.110 establishes a labeling requirement for a prescription device delivered to the ultimate purchaser or user upon the prescription of a licensed practitioner. The device must be accompanied by labeling bearing the name and address of the licensed Start Printed Page 16825practitioner and the directions for use and cautionary statements, if any, contained in the order.
Section 801.405 establishes labeling requirements for articles intended for lay use in repairing and refitting dentures. The labeling must: (1) Limit directions for use for denture repair kits to emergency repair pending unavoidable delay in obtaining professional reconstruction of the denture; (2) limit directions for use for denture reliners, pads, and cushions to temporary refitting pending unavoidable delay in obtaining professional reconstruction of the denture; and (3) contain the word ``emergency'' preceding and modifying each indication-for-use statement for denture repair kits and the word “temporary” preceding and modifying each indication-for-use statement for reliners, pads, and cushions.
Section 801.410(f) requires that results of impact tests and description of the test method and apparatus be kept for a period of 3 years.
Section 801.410(f) is designed to protect the eyeglass wearer from potential eye injury resulting from shattering of ordinary eyeglass lenses and requires that eyeglasses and sunglasses be fitted with impact-resistant lenses. Examination of data available on the frequency of eye injuries resulting from the shattering of ordinary crown glass lenses indicates that the use of such lenses constitutes an avoidable hazard to the eye of the wearer. According to the Vision Council of America, 60 percent of the population, or 161 million Americans, wear prescription eyewear; 81 percent have eyeglasses, 3 percent have contact lenses only; and 16 percent have both eyeglasses and contact lenses.
Section 801.420(c) requires that the manufacturers or distributors of hearing aids develop a User Instructional Brochure, which accompanies the device and is provided to the prospective user by the dispenser of the hearing aid. The brochure must contain detailed information on the use and maintenance of the hearing aid.
Section 801.421(b) requires the hearing aid dispenser to provide the prospective user a copy of the User Instructional Brochure and an opportunity to review the comments with him/her orally or in the predominant method of communication used during the sale.
Section 801.421(c) requires the hearing aid dispenser to provide, upon request, to the prospective purchaser of any hearing aid (s)he dispenses, a copy of the User Instructional Brochure or the name and address of the manufacturer or distributor from whom the brochure may be obtained.
Section 801.421(d) requires the hearing aid dispenser to retain copies of all physician statements or any waivers of medical evaluation for 3 years from the time of dispensing.
Section 801.435 requires condom manufacturers to include an expiration date in the labeling of the condom. The manufacturer must support the expiration date by data from quality control tests demonstrating physical and mechanical integrity of three random lots of the same product which were stored under accelerated and real time conditions.

These estimates are based on FDA's registration and listing database for medical device establishments, agency communications with industry, and FDA's knowledge of and experience with device labeling. We have not estimated a burden for those requirements where the information to be disclosed is information that has been supplied by FDA. Also, we have not estimated a burden for that information that is disclosed to third parties as a usual and customary part of a medical device manufacturer, distributor, or importer's normal business activities. We do not include any burden for time that is spent designing labels to improve the format or presentation.
In the Federal Register of December 14, 2004 (69 FR 74529), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the information collection provisions. No comments were received.
