Form Fda 3640 PDF Details

Whenever a drug is developed, the potential for side effects must be taken into account. In order to ensure that drugs are as safe as possible, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires companies to submit information on the potential side effects of their products. This process is known as Form FDA 3640. The purpose of this form is to provide the FDA with detailed information on all potential adverse reactions to a drug. The agency will then use this information to decide whether or not to approve the product. It's important for pharmaceutical companies to complete this form accurately and thoroughly, as any errors could lead to delays in getting their drug approved. In order to help you understand Form FDA 3640, we've created this guide. In it, we'll explain what it is, what's required, and how it can impact the approval process. We'll also provide some tips on how to complete it correctly. So if you're preparing a submission for your company's new drug candidate, be sur

Foreword

The Office of Compliance, Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) developed this guide. This guide will assist manufacturers¹ of electronic products which emit radiation in providing adequate reporting of radiation safety testing and compliance with federal performance standards. Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 1002 and 1003 specify Reporting and Notification requirements²,³.

Reports submitted on radiation safety of electronic products must follow the appropriate guide (21 CFR 1002.7). If the report does not follow an applicable guide it must contain a sufficient justification for any deviations. The submitter of the report will receive an acknowledgment letter with the accession number we assign to the report. Please reference this accession number in the future when providing additional information about this model family in either a supplement or the annual report. If a report is incomplete or inadequate CDRH may reject it and return it for completion. CDRH will not enter a rejected report into our database. Also, a rejected report will not receive an accession number.

WE DO NOT APPROVE THESE REPORTS OR THE PRODUCTS BEING REPORTED. It is the manufacturer’s responsibility to certify that their products comply with all applicable standards (21 CFR 1010 - 1050), based on a testing program in accordance with good manufacturing practices. Prior to the shipment of products in interstate commerce

21 CFR 1002 requires the manufacturer to submit the report and to comply with all applicable importation requirements (21 CFR 1005). If there are deficiencies, we may disapprove the firm’s quality control and testing program, determine that the product contains a radiation defect, or determine that the product fails to comply with a standard. We will notify the manufacturer if we make such a determination. CDRH may require the manufacturer to cease introduction into U.S. commerce until deficiencies are corrected, and to initiate a corrective action program (21 CFR 1003 - 1004) for products already introduced into commerce.

Please mail your reports to the address below (FDA can not process electronic submissions at this time). Provide the original report with appropriate signature(s) (no facsimiles, please). Provide extra copies only if this guide specifically requires them. Submit the report written in the English language. Translate any text that appears in a language other than English into English in a complete and accurate manner. Keep a copy of the completed reports in your records.

We are making our reporting guides and other regulatory information available on the Internet under http://www.fda.gov/Radiation-EmittingProducts/. No copyright exists for these guides. Reproduce these guides as needed.

FORM FDA 3640 (1/12)

INTRODUCTION

This guide is to be used for reporting laser light shows or displays incorporating Class IIIb or Class IV lasers only. Separate reports are not required for shows or displays that incorporate Class I, IIa, II, or IIIa laser projection systems. Such show descriptions must be included in the user instructions and the report for the laser projector.

Laser projectors used in any light shows or displays regardless of the class of the projector must be certified by the manufacturer and reported using the guide titled, "Guide for Preparing Laser Product Reports for Lasers and Products Containing Lasers," HHS publication FDA 86-8259. These guides assist manufacturers in providing the information that the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) needs to determine how laser light show projectors and laser light shows comply with the Federal standard for laser products (21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11) and with the conditions of and an approved variance.

An approved variance from section 1040.11(c) is required for demonstration laser products (including projection systems and shows) that would be Class IIIb or Class IV. Applicable reports and application forms must be submitted and the variance approved by CDRH prior to the sale, lease, or use of a Class IIIb or IV projector or laser light show.

A report is to be submitted for each unique laser projector, light show, or display. If you later plan to add effects to a previously reported show or introduce a material change in the show, auxiliary projection equipment, or projector, you must submit a supplementary report describing the additions or changes. If you plan to introduce a projector or show that is substantially different, you must submit and an additional laser product or light show report.

If you are the manufacturer of the projector and a Class IIIb or IV light show, then the general laser product reporting guide must be used to provide a complete report on the whole projection system and this laser light show guide to describe all the effects. In the Laser Product Report you would identify the projector, including auxiliary components in the projection system, and describe any aspects of the design of those components that satisfy a requirement of the variance or the standard.

If the projector or projection system was purchased and is certified by its manufacturer, you may provide information concerning the projector by reference to the manufacturer's report on the projector, specifying the model number, model name, and the CDRH accession number of that report.

However, if you have modified the projector (changed the protective housing, interlocks, apertures, installed lasers of a different class, added remote controls, etc.) or added auxiliary equipment such as mirrors, mirror balls, fiber optics, remote scanners, projection screens or other surfaces as targets, etc., the modified projection system must be reported by you, using the general laser product reporting guide. As above, the projector manufacturer's report may be referenced for any items of information that were not affected by your modifications.

Laser Light Show Report (9/95)

Page 1

FORM FDA 3640 (1/12)

A Laser Product Report or Supplemental Report must be submitted prior to introduction of changes. In addition, you should check your variance approval letter, specifically paragraph D and the conditions in any attachments, before you produce new shows to be certain that your variance allows the proposed changes. If it does not, then you must apply for and receive an approved amendment to your variance prior to introducing your new show or projector into commerce.

Your variance will be approved for a specific period of time. If you wish to produce shows after the expiration date, several months prior to its expiration date you must request an extension in writing. Variance extensions and renewals are subject to the adequacy and timeliness of all required reports, show notifications, and recordkeeping. Noncompliances in your shows, projection equipment, or quality control records would be grounds for denial of your request, or further regulatory actions.

Please submit your report(s) to: Center for Devices and Radiological Health, Document Mail Center - WO66-G609, Attention, Electronic Product Reports, 10903 New Hampshire Avenue, Silver Spring, Maryland 20993-0002. Attachments required by the guides should be numbered to correspond with the appropriate questions (i.e., information requested by item 7.0 should be numbered 7.0).

The Product Reporting Guides and Annual Reporting Guides are available from the Division of Small Manufacturer's Assistance (DSMA) in Rockville, Maryland at 1-800-638-2041. DSMA should be contacted for requests of any current documents and reporting guides.

FOOTNOTES

1. Show notification:

Provide the location(s), date(s), and time(s) for this show if this information is known at the time this report is submitted. If not, advanced written notification must be made as early as possible to appropriate Federal, State, and local authorities. To be considered timely, this written notice must be submitted 30 days prior to the opening of the show.

For CDRH the written show notification requirement has been replaced with a condition requiring maintenance of certain records containing the same information. The firm or person to whom the variance is issued shall maintain complete records of all show events or itineraries with dates, locations, operator name, and the contact information clearly and completely identified. The records shall contain the specific equipment used, a basic description of proposed effects, and a statement of the maximum power output used. These records shall be available to the Food and Drug Administration upon request.

2. Audience scanning:

Audience scanning is considered to be any scanning, projection, or reflection of laser or collateral radiation into audience or other accessible, uncontrolled areas. Scattered radiation coming from diffuse reflectors such as fog, smoke, mist or similar diffusing media is not considered audience scanning. However, all radiation must be below Class I levels if it reaches into audience or other uncontrolled areas. A scanning safeguard is required whenever a laser light show includes audience scanning to ensure that the laser radiation levels in audience areas will not exceed Class I limits if there is a scan failure. See the companion publication, "Compliance Guide for Laser Products," for further discussion.

3. Qualifications:

Holders of variances are required by the variance to employ trained operators or to ensure that the operators receive adequate training to qualify them for the safe use of the laser projection system and presentation of the light show effects. Useful information, including training films, reference books, and programs on the safe use of lasers, may be obtained from the Laser Institute of America (LIA), 12424 Research Parkway, Suite 130, Orlando, Florida 32826, (407) 380-1553, and from the American National Standards Institute, 1430 Broadway, New York, New York 10018 (request ANSI standard Z136.1).

APPENDIX

SAMPLE CHECKLIST AND DOCUMENTATION FOR LASER LIGHT SHOWS

(Your actual modified checklist should be submitted under 14.1.)

NOTE: In order to keep your variance for a laser light show that uses Class IIIb or IV levels of laser radiation in effect, it is essential that you maintain your show in strict compliance with the conditions of the variance. You are therefore expected to perform checks as often as appropriate to make sure that you have not departed from any of the conditions of the variance, and to maintain records in order to be ready for inspection by regulatory authorities without warning.

This sample checklist shows the types of checks that should be performed during preparation for a laser light show. It is not intended that you adopt this sample without any modification. Individual aspects of your show may make it important to add some new items and delete others. Attach a copy of your checklist to this report and maintain in your records those checklists that you complete for each performance.
