General Function of the Committee : To provide advice and recommendations to the agency on FDA's regulatory issues.
Date and Time : The meeting will be held on July 22 and 23, 2009, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Location : Hilton Washington DC North/Gaithersburg, Salons A, B and C, 620 Perry Pkwy., Gaithersburg, MD.
Contact Person : James Swink, Center for Devices and Radiological Health (HFZ-450), Food and Drug Administration, 9200 Corporate Blvd., Rockville, MD 20850, 240-276-4050, or FDA Advisory Committee Information Line, 1-800-741-8138 (301-443-0572 in the Washington, DC area), code 3014512625. Please call the Information Line for up-to-date information on this meeting. A notice in the Federal Register about last minute modifications that impact a previously announced advisory committee meeting cannot always be published quickly enough to provide timely notice. Therefore, you should always check the agency's Web site and call the appropriate advisory committee hot line/phone line to learn about possible modifications before coming to the meeting.
Agenda : On July 22, 2009, the committee will discuss, make recommendations, and vote on a Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) application, sponsored by Medtronic, Inc., for the MEDTRONIC MELODY Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve (Model PB10) and MEDTRONIC ENSEMBLE Transcatheter Valve Delivery System (NU10). The MEDTRONIC MELODY Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve (Model PB10) and MEDTRONIC ENSEMBLE Transcatheter Valve Delivery System (NU10) is indicated for use in patients with the following clinical conditions:
Regurgitant (insufficient or leaky) Right Ventricular Outflow Tract (RVOT) -The right ventricular outflow tract is that portion of the right ventricle leading up to the pulmonary valve and pulmonary artery. When the ventricles contract, blood moves along the outflow tract and through the pulmonary valve; blood then flows to the lungs where gas exchange takes place.
Conduits-In the context of this device, a surgically implanted tube that allows blood to pass from the heart to the pulmonary arteries.
• Stenotic (stiff valve leaflets that cannot open or close properly) RVOT conduits where the risk of worsening regurgitation is a relative contraindication to balloon dilatation or stenting.
• Existence of a full (circumferential) RVOT conduit that was equal to or greater than 16 millimeters (mm) in diameter when originally implanted.
On July 23, 2009, from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., and from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., the committee will discuss general questions about adhesion barriers for cardiovascular use. Some of these questions will focus on understanding the target population (pediatric and/or adult) that would benefit from these devices and the development of appropriate endpoints for a clinical trial.

If FDA is unable to post the background material on its Web site prior to the meeting, the background material will be made publicly available at the location of the advisory committee meeting, and the background material will be posted on FDA's Web site after the meeting.
