FDA Guidance on MR Passive Implants
CDRH issued a guidance for industry and FDA staff titled "Establishing Safety and Compatibility of Passive Implants in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment", which addresses the testing and labeling of passive implants. In preparing PMA, IDE, and 510(k) submissions, the guidance applies to MR devices that serve their function without electric power supply.
