2026-15963, Medical Devices; Radiology Devices; Classification of the Fludeoxyglucose F18-Guided Radiation Therapy System

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is classifying the fludeoxyglucose F18-guided radiation therapy system into class II (special controls). The special controls that apply to the device type are identified in this order and will be part of the codified language for classification of the fludeoxyglucose F18-guided radiation therapy system. We are taking this action because we have determined that classifying the device into class II will provide a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of the device. We believe this action will also enhance patients' access to beneficial innovative devices, in part by reducing regulatory burdens.

The Authorization contains, among other things, conditions on the emergency use of the authorized product. The Authorization follows the August 9, 2022, determination by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (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 monkeypox virus. On the basis of such determination, the Secretary of HHS declared, on September 7, 2022, that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of emergency use of in vitro diagnostics for detection and/or diagnosis of infection with the monkeypox virus, including in vitro diagnostics that detect and/or diagnose infection with non-variola Orthopoxvirus, pursuant to the FD&C Act, subject to terms of any authorization issued under that section. The Authorization, which includes an explanation of the reasons for issuance, is listed in this document, and can be accessed on FDA's website from the link indicated.

We are also providing notice that the administrative stay of the effective date for the repeal and delisting of the color additive regulations is now lifted.

Previous: 2025-10988, Trinity Capital Inc., et al.
