FDA PRODUCT CODE · CLASS II

NEP — System/Device, Pharmacy Compounding

What these counts are not

Clearance and recall counts are SPEQ’s aggregation of FDA’s own published records for the code. A recall count is a measure of history, not of a device’s safety, neither number is an FDA rating, and SPEQ is not affiliated with the FDA.

What this classification requires

Every statement below is FDA’s own classification record for this product code, quoted from the device classification field reference. The SPEQ reading beneath each one is SPEQ’s interpretation of what it means for the work, and is not FDA text.

PREMARKET PATHWAY

510(K) Exempt

SPEQ READINGNo premarket notification is required for a device in this code, within the limitations of exemption. Exempt from premarket review is NOT exempt from regulation: registration, listing, labelling, adverse-event reporting and — unless the code is also GMP exempt — 21 CFR Part 820 all still apply.

DEVICE CLASS

Class II (moderate to high risk): general controls and special controls

SPEQ READINGSpecial controls are the distinguishing feature: performance standards, guidance documents, patient registries or postmarket surveillance named for the device type. Find the special controls before designing the test plan — they usually name the tests.

MALFUNCTION REPORTING

Device is not eligible for The Voluntary Malfunction Summary Reporting Program

SPEQ READINGIndividual malfunction reporting under 21 CFR Part 803 applies. The complaint-handling system has to produce a decision per event, not per period.

GMP / QUALITY SYSTEM

Not exempt due to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)/Quality System

SPEQ READINGThe full Quality Management System Regulation (21 CFR 820, incorporating ISO 13485:2016) applies, and is what an FDA inspection of this device will be conducted against.

IMPLANT

Device is not implantable

SPEQ READINGNo implant-specific expectations attach from the classification itself.

LIFE-SUSTAINING

Device is not used for life sustaining purposes

SPEQ READINGNo life-sustaining designation attaches to this code.

THIRD-PARTY REVIEW

Device is not a candidate for a third party review program

SPEQ READINGFDA reviews any premarket notification for this code directly.

Other product codes under 21 CFR 880.5440

One regulation usually governs several product codes. These share this code’s regulation, and therefore its classification basis.

21 CFR 880.5440 — Intravascular administration set

The classification regulation for this product code, as published by the Office of the Federal Register. This is the regulation text itself — no SPEQ interpretation appears in it.

(a) Identification. An intravascular administration set is a device used to administer fluids from a container to a patient's vascular system through a needle or catheter inserted into a vein. The device may include the needle or catheter, tubing, a flow regulator, a drip chamber, an infusion line filter, an I.V. set stopcock, fluid delivery tubing, connectors between parts of the set, a side tube with a cap to serve as an injection site, and a hollow spike to penetrate and connect the tubing to an I.V. bag or other infusion fluid container.

(b) Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for pharmacy compounding systems within this classification is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Pharmacy Compounding Systems; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Reviewers.” Pharmacy compounding systems classified within the intravascular administration set are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of this part and subject to the limitations in § 880.9. [45 FR 69682, Oct. 21, 1980, as amended at 66 FR 15798, Mar. 21, 2001]
