*Federal Register* notice: FDA has announced that it received a petition requesting exemption from the premarket notification requirements for the generic device type: “powered patient transport, all other powered patient transport.” The products are motorized devices used to mitigate mobility impairment caused by injury or other disease by moving a person from one location or level to another, such as up and down flights of stairs. This device type does not include motorized three-wheeled vehicles or wheelchairs, and is distinct from the device type: “powered patient transport, powered patient stairway chair lifts,”which is classified separately within the same regulation. FDA is seeking comments on the petition request. To view the notice, click [here](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2021-06-15/pdf/2021-12505.pdf?ref=fdaweb.com).
