21 C.F.R. § 884.1 Scope.
Title 21 - Food and Drugs
(a) This part sets forth the classification of obstetrical and gynecological devices intended for human use that are in commercial distribution. (b) The identification of a device in a regulation in this part is not a precise description of every device that is, or will be, subject to the regulation. A manufacturer who submits a premarket notification submission for a device under part 807 may not show merely that the device is accurately described by the section title and identification provisions of a regulation in this part, but shall state why the device is substantially equivalent to other devices, as required by §807.87. (c) To avoid duplicative listings, an obstetrical and gynecological device that has two or more types of uses (e.g., used both as a diagnostic device and as a therapeutic device) is listed only in one subpart. (d) References in this part to regulatory sections of the Code of Federal Regulations are to chapter I of title 21, unless otherwise noted. (e) Guidance documents referenced in this part are available on the Internet at http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/guidance.php. [52 FR 17740, May 11, 1987, as amended at 68 FR 44415, Aug. 27, 2003]
