Information Line, 1-800-741-8138 (301-443-0572 in the Washington, DC

that impact a previously announced advisory committee meeting cannot 
always be published quickly enough to provide timely notice. Therefore, 
you should always check the Agency's Web site at https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/default.htm and scroll down to the appropriate 
advisory committee meeting link, or call the advisory committee 
information line to learn about possible modifications before coming to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Agenda: On December 12, 2017, the committee will discuss, make 
recommendations, and vote on information regarding the premarket 
approval application (PMA) for the Barricaid Anular Closure Device by 
Intrinsic Therapeutics. The proposed Indication for Use, as stated in 
the PMA, is as follows: The Barricaid is intended to be implanted 
following a limited discectomy, to prevent reherniation and the 
recurrence of pain or dysfunction. The Barricaid is indicated for 
patients with radiculopathy (with or without back pain), a posterior or 
posterolateral herniation, characterized by radiographic confirmation 
of neural compression using magnetic resonance imaging, and a large 
anular defect (e.g., between 4-6 mm tall and between 6-12 mm wide) post 
discectomy, at one level between L4 and S1.
    FDA intends to make background material available to the public no 
later than 2 business days before the meeting. If FDA is unable to post 
the background material on its Web site prior to the meeting, the 
background material will be made publicly available at the location of 
the advisory committee meeting, and the background material will be 
posted on FDA's Web site after the meeting. Background material is 
available at https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/default.htm. Scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting 
link.
    Procedure: Interested persons may present data, information, or 
views, orally or in writing, on issues pending before the committee. 
Written submissions may be made to the contact person on or before 
December 1, 2017. Oral presentations from the public will be scheduled 
between approximately 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. Those individuals interested in 
making formal oral presentations should notify the contact person and 
submit a brief statement of the general nature of the evidence or 
arguments they wish to present, the names and addresses of proposed 
participants, and an indication of the approximate time requested to 
make their presentation on or before November 3, 2017. Time allotted 
for each presentation may be limited. If the number of registrants 
requesting to speak is greater than can be reasonably accommodated 
during the scheduled open public hearing session, FDA may conduct a 
lottery to determine the speakers for the scheduled open public hearing 
session. The contact person will notify interested persons regarding 
their request to speak by November 9, 2017.
    Persons attending FDA's advisory committee meetings are advised 
that the Agency is not responsible for providing access to electrical
