Comments Sought on PTCA Catheter Reclassification

05/30/2008

Federal Register Notice: FDA is seeking comments on the recommendation of the Circulatory System Devices Panel to reclassify Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) catheters, other than cutting/scoring PTCA catheters, from Class 3 (premarket approval) to Class 2 (special controls). The panel made this recommendation after reviewing the reclassification petition submitted by Cook Group Inc. and other publicly available information. The agency is also making available a draft guidance document, Class 2 Special Controls Guidance Document for Certain Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) Catheters that FDA intends will serve as the special control for this device type, if it is reclassified.
