The FDA has the statutory authority
under section 304(g) of the FD&C Act to detain devices during
establishment inspections which are believed to be adulturated or
misbranded. On March 9, 1979, FDA issued a final regulation on
Administrative Detention Procedures which includes, among other
things, certain reporting and recordkeeping requirements. FDA also
has the statutory authority under section 516 of the Act to ban
devices that present substantial deception, unreasonable and
substantial risk of illness or injury, or unreasonable, direct and
substantial danger to the health of individuals. Under these
authorities there are requirements pertaining to reporting and
recordkeeping activities that are necessary in order for the Agency
to carry out its mission to protect the public health.
