The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the availability of the draft guidance entitled "Evaluation of Sex- Specific and Gender-Specific Data in Medical Device Clinical Studies." This document provides guidance on the study and evaluation of sex- and/or gender-specific data in clinical investigations or research involving one or more subjects to determine the safety or effectiveness of a device. The purpose of this guidance is to encourage science- driven consideration of sex and/or gender, as appropriate for both the scientific question being addressed and the intended use of the device, when designing medical device clinical studies and reporting data from such studies in accordance with legal requirements. This draft guidance is not final nor is it for implementation at this time.
