 
Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) updated the Medical Device Shortages List web page by providing updates to estimated shortage durations for select product codes as well as adding the following product codes:
- Oxygenators intended for extracorporeal circulation (product codes: DTZ and BYS)
For information about how the FDA determines it is appropriate to remove or add product codes from the device shortage list, please visit our web page Supply and Shortages of Medical Devices: Frequently Asked Questions.
In times when 506J notifications are not required, the FDA has more limited information about potential disruptions in the domestic supply of critical devices and has more limited ability to determine the extent and duration of shortages of critical devices.
