    By WK Editorial Staff

    The FDA believes the action will also enhance patients’ access to beneficial innovative devices, in part by reducing regulatory burdens.

    The FDA classified the transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator for the relief of congestion into class II (special controls). The special controls will be part of the codified language for classification of the transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator for the relief of congestion. The FDA is taking this action because we have determined that classifying the device into class II will provide a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of the device (Final Rule, 91 Fed. Reg. 20348 (Apr. 16, 2026)).

    Dates. This order is effective April 16, 2026. The classification was applicable on March 5, 2021.
