| 2011-9899 | Medical Devices; Reclassification of the Topical Oxygen Chamber for Extremities | Rule | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is reclassifying the topical oxygen chamber for extremities (TOCE) from class III to class II. This device is intended to surround a patient's limb and apply humidified oxygen topically at a pressure slightly greater than atmospheric pressure to aid healing of chronic skin ulcers, such as bedsores. This reclassification is on the Secretary of Health and Human Services's own initiative based on new information. This action is being taken under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) as amended by the Medical Device Amendments of 1976 (the 1976 Amendments), the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990 (the SMDA), and the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 (FDAMA). Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, FDA is announcing the availability of the guidance document entitled "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Topical Oxygen Chamber for Extremities," which will serve as the special control for this device. | 2011-04-25 | 2011 | 4 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2011/04/25/2011-9899/medical-devices-reclassification-of-the-topical-oxygen-chamber-for-extremities | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2011-04-25/pdf/2011-9899.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Food and Drug Administration | 221,199 | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is reclassifying the topical oxygen chamber for extremities (TOCE) from class III to class II.
