| 2018-27351 | Intent To Consider the Appropriate Classification of Hyaluronic Acid Intra-articular Products Intended for the Treatment of Pain in Osteoarthritis of the Knee Based on Scientific Evidence | Notice | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing our intent to consider the appropriate classification of hyaluronic acid (HA) intra-articular products intended for the treatment of pain in osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. Although HA products intended for this use have been regulated as devices (Procode MOZ; acid, hyaluronic, intra-articular), the current published scientific literature supports that HA achieves its primary intended purpose of treatment of pain in OA of the knee through chemical action within the body. Because HA for this use may not meet the definition of a device, sponsors of HA products who intend to submit a premarket approval application (PMA) or a supplement to a PMA for a change in indications for use, formulation, or route of administration are encouraged to obtain an informal or formal classification and jurisdiction determination through a Pre- Request for Designation (Pre-RFD) or Request for Designation (RFD), respectively, from FDA prior to submission. If a sponsor believes their product meets the device definition, they may provide relevant evidence in the Pre-RFD or RFD. | 2018-12-18 | 2018 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/12/18/2018-27351/intent-to-consider-the-appropriate-classification-of-hyaluronic-acid-intra-articular-products | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2018-12-18/pdf/2018-27351.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Food and Drug Administration | 221,199 | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing our intent to consider the appropriate classification of hyaluronic acid (HA) intra-articular products intended for the treatment of pain in osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee.
