FY 2005 OIVD Annual Report - Part 2 - Guidance Development
In FY 05, OIVD issued eight guidance documents which are listed below. Among the eight, five are Special Controls guidances. In addition to these IVD-specific guidances, there are other non-IVD-specific guidances that would also apply to IVDs. All of these guidance documents and other previously issued guidance documents are available on the World Wide Web (CDRH homepage: http://www.fda.gov/cdrh) which provides easy access to the latest information, operating policies and procedures. They may also be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers International and Consumer Assistance (DSMICA, HFZ-200). To contact DSMICA, call 800-638-2041 or 240-276-3103; Fax 240-276-3151; Email dsmica@cdrh.fda.gov or write to DSMICA (HFZ-200, Food and Drug Administration, 1350 Piccard Drive, Rockville, Maryland 20850-4307).
Standards Recognized
OIVD staff continue to play a significant role in both domestic and international standards committees. Our staff members are liaisons and chairpersons of standards committees for a wide range of devices for a variety of standards organizations including ISO and CLSI. OIVD is committed to the standards development process, and we believe that the development of scientifically sound standards will allow us to efficiently review premarket applications for both existing and innovative technologies. A complete list of OIVD staff involved in standards activities is given in Appendix B.
