Docket Number:
FDA-2016-D-0435
Issued by:
Guidance Issuing Office
Center for Devices and Radiological Health

This guidance identifies the content and format for certain labeling components for permanent, hysteroscopically-placed tubal implant devices intended for female sterilization. FDA believes this guidance will help to ensure that a woman receives and understands information regarding the benefits and risks of this type of device prior to undergoing implantation.

FDA's guidance documents, including this guidance, do not establish legally enforceable responsibilities. Instead, guidances describe FDA's current thinking on a topic and should be viewed only as recommendations, unless specific regulatory or statutory requirements are cited. The use of the word should in Agency guidances means that something is suggested or recommended, but not required.
