*Federal Register* notice: FDA has exempted powered wheeled stretchers (product code INK) from premarket notification (510(k)) requirements. The devices are battery-powered tables with wheels that are intended for medical purposes for use by patients who are unable to propel themselves independently and who must maintain a prone or supine position for prolonged periods because of skin ulcers or muscle contractions.
