ABSTRACT

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to reclassify diagnostic endoscopic light source systems (product code OAY), which are postamendments class III devices, from class III (premarket approval) into class II (special controls), subject to premarket notification. FDA is also proposing a new device classification regulation with the name "Cystoscopic system intended as an aid for detection of bladder cancer," along with special controls that FDA believes are necessary to provide a reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of these devices.
