[Technic for research on pain sensitivity. Practical note].

Abstract

A disposable hypodermic needle introduced into the end of its cover at right angles represents a useful tool for the determination of sensitivity to pain. This tool is more comfortable to use for the examiner and permits more adequate measurement of the muscular force used for the different stimuli when compared with pins, needles and sharp tools specially manufactured for the evaluation of superficial cutaneous sensation to pain.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is amending certain classification regulations for reprocessed single-use devices (SUDs) whose exemption from premarket notification (510(k)) requirements have been terminated and other reprocessed SUDs already subject to premarket notification for which validation data, as specified under the Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act of 2002 (MDUFMA), are necessary in a 510(k). Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, we are publishing a companion proposed rule, under FDA's usual procedures for notice and comment, to provide a procedural framework to finalize the rule in the event we receive any significant adverse comment and withdraw the direct final rule. This action codifies actions taken in previous Federal Register notices in accordance with MDUFMA.
