AbstractThe Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing a final rule to require the filing of a premarket approval application (PMA) or a notice of completion of a product development protocol (PDP) for the silicone inflatable breast prosthesis, a generic type of medical device intended to augment or reconstruct the female breast. This device is made of a silicone shell that is inflated with sterile isotonic saline. Commercial distribution of this device must cease unless a manufacturer or importer has filed with FDA a PMA or PDP for its version of the silicone inflatable breast prosthesis within 90 days of the effective date of this regulation. This regulation reflects FDA's exercise of its discretion to require PMA's or PDP's for preamendments devices and is consistent with FDA's stated priorities and Congress' requirement that class III devices are to be regulated by FDA's premarket review. This action is being taken under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act), as amended by the Medical Device Amendments of 1976 (the amendments), the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990, and the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997.
