    FDA Draft Section 524B Guidance Updates (2024)

    In March 2024 the FDA published a draft explaining how it reads Section 524B, including what counts as a cyber device. That content has since been brought into the final premarket cybersecurity guidance.

    What changed

    • Explained the FDA's reading of the cyber device definition in Section 524B.
    • Superseded once its content was folded into final guidance.

    Action for manufacturers

    Cite the current final guidance, not the 2024 draft.
