(a) This part sets forth the classification of ear, nose, and throat 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 § 807.87 .(c) To avoid duplicative listings, an ear, nose, and throat device that has two or more types of uses (e.g., used both as a diagnostic device and as 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 title 21 unless otherwise noted.51 FR 40389, Nov. 6, 1986, as amended at 67 FR 67790 , Nov. 7, 2002; 78 FR 18233 , Mar. 26, 2013
