As required by the FDA Reauthorization Act of 2017 (FDARA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) has identified a list of accessories for which the Agency believes general controls alone are sufficient to provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness, making them appropriate for class I classification. FDA is publishing this document proposing to classify these accessories into class I and distinct from other devices, as well as seeking public comment in accordance with procedures established by FDARA. This document does not represent FDA's final determination with respect to the proposed accessories listed in this document.
