[Docket No. FDA-2020-N-1584]


Authorization of Emergency Use of Certain Medical Devices During 
COVID-19; Availability

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the 
issuance and reissuance of Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) (the 
Authorizations) for certain medical devices related to the Coronavirus 
Disease 2019 (COVID-19) public health emergency. FDA has issued, and in 
some cases reissued, the Authorizations listed in this document under 
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act). These 
Authorizations contain, among other things, conditions on the emergency 
use of the authorized products. The Authorizations follow the February 
4, 2020, determination by Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) 
that there is a public health emergency that has a significant 
potential to affect national security or the health and security of 
U.S. citizens living abroad, and that involves the virus that causes 
COVID-19, and the subsequent declarations on February 4, 2020, March 2, 
2020, and March 24, 2020, that circumstances exist justifying the 
authorization of emergency use of in vitro diagnostics for detection 
and/or diagnosis of the virus that causes COVID-19, personal 
respiratory protective devices, and medical devices, including 
alternative products used as medical devices, respectively, subject to 
the terms of any authorization issued under the FD&C Act. These 
Authorizations, which include an explanation of the reasons for 
issuance and reissuance, are listed in this document, and are available 
on FDA's website at the links indicated.

DATES: These Authorizations are applicable on their date of issuance/
reissuance.

ADDRESSES: Submit written requests for single copies of an EUA to the 
Office of Counterterrorism and Emerging Threats, Food and Drug 
Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 1, Rm. 4338, Silver 
Spring, MD 20993-0002. Send one self-addressed adhesive label to assist 
that office in processing your request or include a fax number to which

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Section 564 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360bbb-3) allows FDA to 
strengthen the public health protections against biological, chemical, 
radiological, or nuclear agent or agents. Among other things, section 
564 of the FD&C Act allows FDA to authorize the use of an unapproved 
medical product or an unapproved use of an approved medical product in 
certain situations. With this EUA authority, FDA can help ensure that 
medical countermeasures may be used in emergencies to diagnose, treat, 
or prevent serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions caused by 
a biological, chemical, radiological, or nuclear agent or agents when 
there are no adequate, approved, and available alternatives.
    Section 564(b)(1) of the FD&C Act provides that, before an EUA may 
be issued, the Secretary of HHS must declare that circumstances exist 
justifying the authorization based on one of the following grounds: (1) 
A determination by the Secretary of Homeland Security that there is a 
domestic emergency, or a significant potential for a domestic 
emergency, involving a heightened risk of attack with a biological, 
chemical, radiological, or nuclear agent or agents; (2) a determination 
by the Secretary of Defense that there is a military emergency, or a 
significant potential for a military emergency, involving a heightened 
risk to U.S. military forces, including personnel operating under the 
authority of title 10 or title 50 of the U.S. Code, of attack with (A) 
a biological, chemical, radiological, or nuclear agent or agents; or 
(B) an agent or agents that may cause, or are otherwise associated 
with, an imminently life-threatening and specific risk to U.S. military 
forces; \1\ (3) a determination by the Secretary of HHS that there is a 
public health emergency, or a significant potential for a public health 
emergency, that affects, or has a significant potential to affect, 
national security or the health and security of U.S. citizens living 
abroad, and that involves a biological, chemical, radiological, or 
nuclear agent or agents, or a disease or condition that may be 
attributable to such agent or agents; or (4) the identification of a 
material threat by the Secretary of Homeland Security pursuant to 
section 319F-2 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 247d-
6b) sufficient to affect national security or the health and security 
of U.S. citizens living abroad.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ In the case of a determination by the Secretary of Defense, 
the Secretary of HHS shall determine within 45 calendar days of such 
determination, whether to make a declaration under section 564(b)(1) 
of the FD&C Act, and, if appropriate, shall promptly make such a 
declaration.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Once the Secretary of HHS has declared that circumstances exist 
justifying an authorization under section 564 of the FD&C Act, FDA may 
authorize the emergency use of a drug, device, or biological product if 
the Agency concludes that the statutory criteria are satisfied. Under 
section 564(h)(1) of the FD&C Act, FDA is required to publish in the 
Federal Register a notice of each authorization, and each termination 
or revocation of an authorization, and an explanation of the reasons 
for the action. Section 564 of the FD&C Act permits FDA to authorize 
the introduction into interstate commerce of a drug, device, or 
biological product intended for use when the Secretary of HHS has 
declared that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of 
emergency use. Products appropriate for emergency use may include 
products and uses that are not approved, cleared, or licensed under 
section 505, 510(k), 512, or 515 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 355, 
360(k), 360b, or 360e) or section 351 of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 262), 
or conditionally approved under section 571 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 
360ccc). FDA may issue an EUA only if, after consultation with the HHS 
Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, the Director of the 
National Institutes of Health, and the Director of the Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (to the extent feasible and appropriate 
given the applicable circumstances), FDA \2\ concludes: (1) That an 
agent referred to in a declaration of emergency or threat can cause a 
serious or life-threatening disease or condition; (2) that, based on 
the totality of scientific evidence available to FDA, including data 
from adequate and well-controlled clinical trials, if available, it is 
reasonable to believe that (A) the product may be effective in 
diagnosing, treating, or preventing (i) such disease or condition; or 
(ii) a serious or life-threatening disease or condition caused by a 
product authorized under section 564, approved or cleared under the 
FD&C Act, or licensed under section 351 of the PHS Act, for diagnosing, 
treating, or preventing such a disease or condition caused by such an 
agent; and (B) the known and potential benefits of the product, when 
used to diagnose, prevent, or treat such disease or condition, outweigh 
the known and potential risks of the product, taking into consideration 
the material threat posed by the agent or agents identified in a 
declaration under section 564(b)(1)(D) of the FD&C Act, if applicable; 
(3) that there is no adequate, approved, and available alternative to 
the product for diagnosing, preventing, or treating such disease or 
condition; (4) in the case of a determination described in section 
564(b)(1)(B)(ii), that the request for emergency use is made by the 
Secretary of Defense; and (5) that such other criteria as may be 
prescribed by regulation are satisfied.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The Secretary of HHS has delegated the authority to issue an 
EUA under section 564 of the FD&C Act to the Commissioner of Food 
and Drugs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    No other criteria for issuance have been prescribed by regulation 
under section 564(c)(4) of the FD&C Act.

[[Page 74348]]

and antigen tests for COVID-19, excluding multianalyte tests: \3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ As set forth in the EUAs for these products, FDA has 
concluded that: (1) SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can 
cause a serious or life-threatening disease or condition, including 
severe respiratory illness, to humans infected by this virus; (2) 
based on the totality of scientific evidence available to FDA, it is 
reasonable to believe that the products may be effective in 
diagnosing COVID-19, and that the known and potential benefits of 
the products, when used for diagnosing COVID-19, outweigh the known 
and potential risks of such products; and (3) there is no adequate, 
approved, and available alternative to the emergency use of the 
products.
