Sec.  803.21  Where can I find the reporting codes for adverse events that I 

use with medical device reports?

    (a) The MEDWATCH Medical Device Reporting Code Instruction Manual 
contains adverse event codes for use with FDA Form 3500A. You may obtain 
the coding manual from CDRH's Web site at http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/mdr/
373.html; and from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International, 
and Consumer Assistance, Center for Devices and Radiological Health, 
1350 Piccard Dr., Rockville, MD 20850, FAX: 301-443-8818, or e-mail to 
DSMICA@CDRH.FDA.GOV.
    (b) We may sometimes use additional coding of information on the 
reporting forms or modify the existing codes. If we do make 
modifications, we will ensure that we make the new coding information 
available to all reporters.
