FDA Issues Final Guidance on Notification of Device Discontinuance or Interruption Under Section 506J

Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued this final guidance: Notifying FDA of a Permanent Discontinuance or Interruption in Manufacturing of a Device Under Section 506J of the FD&C Act. Under section 506J of the FD&C Act, manufacturers are required to notify the FDA, during or in advance of a public health emergency (PHE), of a permanent discontinuance or interruption in the manufacturing of certain devices that is likely to lead to a meaningful disruption in supply of that device in the United States. This guidance provides information about notifications under section 506J during or in advance of any public health emergency.
