Sec. 814.1  Scope.


    (a) This part implements section 515 of the act by providing 
procedures for the premarket approval of medical devices intended for 
human use.
    (b) References in this part to regulatory sections of the Code of 
Federal Regulations are to chapter I of title 21, unless otherwise 
noted.
    (c) This part applies to any class III medical device, unless exempt 
under section 520(g) of the act, that:
    (1) Was not on the market (introduced or delivered for introduction 
into commerce for commercial distribution) before May 28, 1976, and is 
not substantially equivalent to a device on the market before May 28, 
1976, or to a device first marketed on, or after that date, which has 
been classified into class I or class II; or
    (2) Is required to have an approved premarket approval application 
(PMA) or a declared completed product development protocol under a 
regulation issued under section 515(b) of the act; or
    (3) Was regulated by FDA as a new drug or antibiotic drug before May 
28, 1976, and therefore is governed by section 520(1) of the act.
    (d) This part amends the conditions to approval for any PMA approved 
before the effective date of this part. Any condition to approval for an 
approved PMA that is inconsistent with this part is revoked. Any 
condition to approval for an approved PMA that is consistent with this 
part remains in effect.
