The FDA oversees Humanitarian Device Protocols for medical conditions presenting in fewer than 4000 patients per year. The purpose of the humanitarian device protocols is to have the best course of treatment for neurovascular diseases such as stroke and aneurysm for all affected patients, even in circumstances where the condition requires a different course of action from normal treatments and procedures.
