Medical Devices; Gastroenterology-Urology Devices; Classification of the Flushing and Storage Solution for Vascular Autografts at Room Temperature

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is classifying the flushing and storage solution for vascular autografts at room temperature into class II (special controls). The special controls that apply to the device type are identified in this order and will be part of the codified language for classification of the flushing and storage solution for vascular autografts at room temperature. We are taking this action because we have determined that classifying the device into class II will provide a reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device. We believe this action will also enhance patients' access to beneficial innovative devices, in part by reducing regulatory burdens.
