[Docket Nos. 1994N-0418 and 1996P-0276]

Medical Devices: Cardiovascular Devices: Reclassification of the Arrhythmia Detector and Alarm; Correction

AGENCY:

Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION:

Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY:

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is correcting a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register of October 28, 2003 (68 FR 61342). That document issued a final rule reclassifying arrhythmia detector and alarm devices from class III to class II (special controls). This device is used to monitor an electrocardiogram (ECG) and to produce a visible or audible signal or alarm when an atria or ventricular arrhythmia occurs. The document published with an inadvertent error. This document corrects that error.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

March 8, 2004
