## Abstract

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is correcting a neurological device classification regulation. FDA is changing the name of the device from "cottonoid paddie" to "neurosurgical paddie." FDA is making this change because interested persons have advised FDA that the word "cottonoid" is a registered trademark and its use has created problems for competitors of the company that has registered the trademark. FDA is also removing the word "cotton" from the identification because devices of this type are not always made of cotton.
