Chris - Your rationale for not resubmitting is valid *if* the GBICs are Certified as Class I (I haven't seen one yet that isn't). Your rationale for resubmitting is missing some what ifs. Specifically, if you remove (or cover with a label) any of the required markings or use the device outside t

Kim - If the drive is already certified as a Class 1 laser product and you do not modify it or remove any of the required markings, you don't need to do anything, irrespective of the internal laser source's laser class.Refer to Laser Notice 42 at http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/radhlth/pdf/laser-not
