Premarket exemption final rule
Effective Feb. 14, rule lists all Class I and Class II devices that are exempted from premarket notification under the 1997 FDA Modernization Act. List includes cardiopulmonary bypass accessory equipment and electrode cables, devices which initially had been removed from the list following an FDA proposed rule reclassifying them to Class II and requiring them to meet certain performance standards (1"The Gray Sheet" Nov. 16, 1998, p. 10).

On its own initiative, the agency also has added all versions of keratoscopes to the list; previously, keratoscopes using computer software were not considered exempt
