A Humanitarian Device Exemption can be provided by the United States FDA and allows a medical device to be marketed without requiring evidence of effectiveness. To qualify the device must be intended to benefit patients with a rare disease or condition (i.e. less than 4,000 people in the US annually). [1][2] The applicant must also show that there is no other way that the device could be brought to market, and that there is no comparable device already available. [3]
