301-796-7047, or FDA Advisory Committee Information Line, 1-800-741-
8138 (301-443-0572 in the Washington, DC area). A notice in the Federal 
Register about last minute modifications that impact a previously 
announced advisory committee meeting cannot always be published quickly 
enough to provide timely notice. Therefore, you should always check the 
Agency's Web site at http://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/default.htm 
and scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting link, or 
call the advisory committee information line to learn about possible 
modifications before coming to the meeting.
    Agenda: On July 30, 2014, the committee will discuss, make 
recommendations, and vote on information regarding the premarket 
approval application (PMA) for the Ablatherm Integrated Imaging device 
sponsored by EDAP Technomed, Inc. The proposed Indication for Use for 
the Ablatherm Integrated Imaging device, as stated in the PMA, is as 
follows:
    The Ablatherm Integrated Imaging device is intended for the primary 
treatment of prostate cancer in subjects with low risk, localized 
prostate cancer.
    On July 31, 2014, the committee will discuss and make 
recommendations regarding the classification of Penile Tumescence 
Monitors, Nephrostomy Catheters, Stimulators for Electrical Sperm 
Collection, Erectile Dysfunction Devices, and Alloplastic 
Spermatoceles. These devices are considered preamendments devices since 
they were in commercial distribution prior to May 28, 1976, when the 
Medical Devices Amendments became effective. Penile Tumescence Monitors 
are currently regulated under the heading, ``Monitor, Penile 
Tumescence,'' Product Code LIL, as unclassified under the 510(k) 
premarket notification authority. Nephrostomy Catheters are currently 
regulated under the heading, ``Catheter, Nephrostomy,'' Product Code 
LJE, as unclassified under the 510(k) premarket notification authority. 
Stimulators for Electrical Sperm Collection are currently regulated 
under the heading, ``Stimulator, Electrical for Sperm Collection,'' 
Product Code LNL, as unclassified under the 510(k) premarket 
notification authority. Erectile Dysfunction Devices are currently 
regulated under the heading, ``Device, Erectile Dysfunction,'' Product 
Code LST, as unclassified under the 510(k) premarket notification 
authority. Alloplastic Spermatoceles are currently regulated under the 
heading, ``Spermatocele, Alloplastic,'' Product Code LQS, as 
unclassified under the 510(k) premarket notification authority. FDA is 
seeking committee input on the safety and effectiveness and the 
regulatory classification of Penile Tumescence Monitors, Nephrostomy 
Catheters, Stimulators for Electrical Sperm Collection, Erectile 
Dysfunction Devices, and Alloplastic Spermatoceles.
    FDA intends to make background material available to the public no 
later than 2 business days before the meeting. If FDA is unable to post 
the background material on its Web site prior to the meeting, the 
background material will be made publicly available at the location of 
the advisory committee meeting, and the background material will be 
posted on FDA's Web site after the meeting. Background material is 
available at http://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/default.htm. Scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting
