CDRH, on the Move in Maryland, Limits Days for Test Submissions
July 02, 2009
The FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health expects to complete relocating to its new Maryland digs Aug. 3, and is urging researchers not to file regulatory submissions on certain days.
Because the center will be moving on all Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays other than holiday weekends, it "will not officially receive premarket submissions on the Friday of a move … and the Monday after a move weekend."
In a statement, CDRH says that until it finishes its move "the best way" to reach its staff is by e-mail "because all office addresses, phone and fax numbers will change." Accompanying the statement is a list of phone numbers and two e-mail addresses.
Researchers looking to submit tests for 510(k), IDE, PMA, 513(g), Pre-IDE, PDP, HDE, and CLIA review should use these snail-mail addresses.
Since mid-May, CDRH has been moving from various Rockville, Md., locations to the FDA's main White Oak campus at 10903 New Hampshire Avenue in Silver Spring, Md.
The center says questions should be addressed to Marjorie Shulman at 240-276-4186 or Marjorie.shulman@fda.hhs.gov.
