Part B: Supplementary Information Sheet (SIS)
FR Recognition List Number 057 Date of Entry 12/20/2021 
FR Recognition Number 2-294
Standard
USP-NF  M98834_01_01
<88> Biological Reactivity Tests, In Vivo
Extent of Recognition
Partial recognition. The following part(s) of the standard is (are) not recognized:
Page 171, Sentences, "Remove particulate matter, such as lint and free particles, by treating each subdivided Sample or Negative Control as follows. Place the Sample into a clean, glass-stoppered, 100-mL graduated cylinder of Type I glass, and add about 70 mL of Water for Injection. Agitate for about 30 s, and drain off the water. Repeat this step."

Pages 174-175, Section "Safety Tests - Biologicals."
Rationale for Recognition
This standard is relevant to medical devices and is recognized on its scientific and technical merit and/or because it supports existing regulatory policies.

This standard is recognized in part because:
Page 171, Sentences, "Remove particulate matter, such as lint and free particles, by treating each subdivided Sample or Negative Control as follows. Place the Sample into a clean, glass-stoppered, 100-mL graduated cylinder of Type I glass, and add about 70 mL of Water for Injection. Agitate for about 30 s, and drain off the water. Repeat this step." is in conflict with an existing published final guidance. See section V.C and section V. E. bullet 5 of the guidance listed below.
Pages 174-175, Section "Safety Tests - Biologicals" is in conflict with another recognized standard, see ISO 10993-11.
