    There is a Federal Register notice from OMB on information collection. It says, "[P]rior to the establishment of the electronic submission process for voluntary allegations to CDRH, there had been no established guidelines or instructions on how to submit an allegation to CDRH, allegations often contained minimal information and were received via phone calls, emails, or conversationally. CDRH has established a consistent format and process for the submission of device allegations that enhances our timeliness in receiving, assessing, and evaluating voluntary allegations. The information provided in the allegations received by CDRH may be used to clarify the recurrence or emergence of significant device-related risks to the general public and the need to initiate educational outreach or regulatory action to minimize or mitigate identified risks."

    I've looked on the CDRH website for information about how to submit an allegation, but have not found it.

    Can anybody point me in the right direction?

    Looks like the FDA website was updated again yesterday, again with no redirects. But searching within the ​website is now working!
