Final
Docket Number:
FDA-2020-D-0957
Issued by:
Guidance Issuing Office
Center for Devices and Radiological Health

FDA has developed this guidance document to assist industry in preparing Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) applications for nocturnal home hemodialysis (NHHD) systems. These dialysis devices are intended to administer dialysis therapy in the home setting, while the patient is expected to be asleep.

FDA's guidance documents, including this guidance, do not establish legally enforceable responsibilities. Instead, guidances describe the Agency's current thinking on a topic and should be viewed only as recommendations, unless specific regulatory or statutory requirements are cited. The use of the word should in Agency guidances means that something is suggested or recommended, but not required.
