A blood center has discovered a unit of packed red blood cells
for commercial use previously shipped to a local hospital was

process. The blood center should:
A. Recall the blood product and initiate a blood product
deviation report to CBER within 45 calendar days of discovery

Question Feedback: CBER is the FDA branch handling biologic
products and the appropriate reporting period is 45 days from
discovery of the manufacturing deviation. Under 21 CFR
606.171, a manufacturer is required to report certain events
associated with the manufacturing, to include testing,
processing, packing, labeling or storage, or with blood or blood
component holding or distribution, which may affect the a
,distributed product's safety, purity or potency. Safety, purity and
potency are defined in 21 CFR 600.3(p), (r) and (s). Under 21

as possible, but is required to submit reports at a date not to
exceed 45 calendar days from the date of discovery of
information reasonably suggesting a reportable event has

A Class II device with electrical components was subjected to
extensive standardized testing such as the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) series (recognized
conformance standard). The tests were conducted by a third
party. Which route of submission is the most suitable for this
device?
A. Traditional 510(k)
B. Special 510(k)
C. Abbreviated 510(k)
D. PMA Correct Answer C. Abbreviated 510(k)
Question Feedback: A manufacturer has the option to submit an
Abbreviated 510(k) when FDA has recognized relevant
consensus standards applicable to the device. This Abbreviated
510(k) will include a declaration of conformity to the recognized
consensus standards, and this declaration, in many cases, should
eliminate the need to review actual test data for those aspects of
the device addressed by the standards, thus the review will be
more efficient.
A company has a 510(k) device and wants to expand its
indications for use. The device can be used for the new
indication, which includes a new and distinguishable patient
, population, with only minor changes to the device's
specifications. Which actions need to take place before
marketing the device for the new indication:
A. A new 510k needs to be submitted with appropriate testing
for the new indication
B. Since the device specification changes are minor, a special
510k can be submitted
C. The device can be marketed right away and the change
described in the Annual Report
D. The device can be marketed after submission of labeling
change Correct Answer A. A new 510k needs to be submitted
with appropriate testing for the new indication
Question Feedback: A new indication for use requires a new
510(k) clearance.
A company has a new blood pressure medication, NOSTRESS.
