*Federal Register* notice: FDA is proposing to reclassify optical diagnostic devices for melanoma detection and electrical impedance spectrometers from Class 3 to Class 2 (special controls), subject to premarket notification. For such devices, FDA is also proposing a new device classification regulation with the name “computer-aided devices which provide adjunctive diagnostic information about lesions suspicious for melanoma.” To view the notice, click [here](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2022-06-30/pdf/2022-13954.pdf?ref=fdaweb.com).
