(a)Except as provided in paragraph
(b)of this section, each person who is required to register his establishment pursuant to § 807.20 must submit a premarket notification submission to the Food and Drug Administration at least 90 days before he proposes to begin the introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate commerce for commercial distribution of a device intended for human use which meets any of the following criteria:
(1)The device is being introduced into commercial distribution for the first time; that is, the device is not of the same type as, or is not substantially equivalent to,
(i)a device in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or
(ii)a device introduced for commercial distribution after May 28, 1976, that has subsequently been reclassified into class I or II.
(2)The device is being introduced into commercial distribution for the first time by a person required to register, whether or not the device meets the criteria in paragraph (a)(1) of this section.
(3)The device is one that the person currently has in commercial distribution or is reintroducing into commercial distribution, but that is about to be significantly changed or modified in design, components, method of manufacture, or intended use.

(ii)There is a predetermined change control plan
(PCCP)cleared under section 515C of the act, provided that the change is consistent with the PCCP.
