SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    This guidance document was developed to provide industry and Agency 
staff with recommendations for the suggested format and content of an 
abbreviated 510(k) submission for EGR1 gene FISH test system for 
specimen characterization devices and recommendations for addressing 
certain labeling issues relevant to the review process specific to 
these devices. An EGR1 gene FISH test system for specimen 
characterization is a device intended to detect the EGR1 probe target 
on chromosome 5q in bone marrow specimens from patients with acute 
myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome. The assay results are 
intended to be interpreted only by a qualified pathologist or 
cytogeneticist. These devices do not include automated systems that 
directly report results without review and interpretation by a 
qualified pathologist or cytogeneticist. These devices also do not 
include any device intended for use to select patient therapy, predict 
patient response to therapy, or to screen for disease as well as any 
device with a claim for a particular diagnosis, prognosis, and 
monitoring or risk assessment.
    In the Federal Register of September 26, 2014 (79 FR 57939), the 
Agency issued the draft guidance entitled ``Content and Format for 
Abbreviated 510(k)s for Early Growth Response 1 (EGR1) Gene 
Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization (FISH) Test System for Specimen 
Characterization Devices.'' The Agency received no comments on the 
draft guidance dated September 26, 2014.

II. Significance of Guidance

    This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance 
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the 
current thinking of FDA on ``Content and

[[Page 34679]]

Format for Abbreviated 510(k)s for Early Growth Response 1 (EGR1) Gene 
Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization (FISH) Test System for Specimen 
Characterization Devices.'' It does not establish any rights for any 
person and is not binding on FDA or the public. You can use an 
alternative approach if it satisfies the requirements of the applicable 
statutes and regulations.
