*Federal Register* notice: FDA is seeking comments on a petition requesting exemption from the premarket notification requirements for powered wheeled stretchers. The devices are battery-powered tables with wheels that are intended 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. Comments are being accepted until 11/15\. To view the notice, click [here](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2019-09-16/pdf/2019-19978.pdf?ref=fdaweb.com).
