THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION (FDA) URGES FILERS TO IMMEDIATELY
UPDATE THEIR PRODUCT CODE BUILDER FILE VIA ABI, BY FOLLOWING THE
PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE 95-0063 (18 JAN 95).
THIS IS NECESSARY IN ORDER TO OBTAIN NEW, RECENTLY ISSUED, PRODUCT
CODES FOR MEDICAL DEVICES, AND ADDITIONAL SYNONYMS FOR FOOD PRODUCTS.
FILERS SHOULD BE ALERT FOR FUTURE ABI MESSAGES THAT FDA HAS UPDATED
PRODUCT CODE BUILDER FILE, SINCE FDA EXPECTS TO BE ISSUING PRODUCT
CODE UPDATES ON A FREQUENT BASIS. NEW PRODUCT CODES MAY BE USED
IMMEDIATELY. FDA WILL GIVE FILERS 30 DAYS NOTICE BEFORE DELETING ANY
OBSOLETE PRODUCT CODES.
