                        TITLE 21--FOOD AND DRUGS
 
CHAPTER I--FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN 
                          SERVICES (CONTINUED)
 
PART 892--RADIOLOGY DEVICES--Table of Contents
 
                      Subpart A--General Provisions
 
Sec. 892.1  Scope.


    (a) This part sets forth the classification of radiology devices 
intended for human use that are in commercial distribution.
    (b) The identification of a device in a regulation in this part is 
not a precise description of every device that is, or will be, subject 
to the regulation. A manufacturer who submits a premarket notification 
submission for a device under part 807 cannot show merely that the 
device is accurately described by the section title and identification 
provision of a regulation in this part but shall state why the device is 
substantially equivalent to other devices, as required by Sec. 807.87.
    (c) To avoid duplicative listings, a radiology device that has two 
or more types of uses (e.g., use both as a diagnostic device and a 
therapeutic device) is listed in one subpart only.
    (d) References in this part to regulatory sections of the Code of 
Federal Regulations are to chapter I of this title 21, unless otherwise 
noted.
