🩺FDA Class II Medical Device Classification for Chronic Wound Care
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, the Agency, or we) is classifying the device to detect bacterial protease activity in chronic wound fluid into class II (special controls). The special controls that apply to the device type are identified in this order and will be part of the codified language for the device to detect bacterial protease activity in chronic wound fluid's classification. We are taking this action because we have determined that classifying the device into class II (special controls) will provide a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of the device. We believe this action will also enhance patients' access to beneficial innovative devices in part by reducing regulatory burdens.

Learn More✈️FAA Proposes Airworthiness Directive for Pratt & Whitney Engines
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Pratt & Whitney (PW) Model F117-PW-100, PW2037, PW2037D, PW2037M, PW2040, PW2040D, PW2043, PW2143, and PW2643 engines. This proposed AD was prompted by an updated analysis of an event involving an International Aero Engines, LLC (IAE LLC) Model PW1127GA-JM engine, which experienced a high-pressure compressor (HPC) 7th-stage integrally bladed rotor (IBR-7) separation that resulted in an engine shutdown and aborted takeoff. This proposed AD would require repetitive angled ultrasonic inspections (AUSIs) of certain high-pressure turbine (HPT) 1st-stage disks and turbine hubs for any crack indications, and if necessary, removal from service and replacement, and removal from service of certain HPT lenticular seal assemblies. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
