SCOPE: Risk- and Regulatory control-based Classification of accessories and  use of the De Novo classification process.

ACCESSORY:  A finished device that is intended to support, supplement, and/or augment the performance of one or more parent devices. Includes Software

TRADITIONAL CLASSIFICATION APPROACH: Same as parent device OR Unique, separate classification

NEW REGULATIONS PER 21ST CENTURY CURES ACT: classify an accessory . . . based on the intended use of the accessory, notwithstanding the classification of any other device with which such accessory is intended to be used

DE NOVO PATHWAY ENCOURAGED: For new types of accessories
