Before you export your medical devices to the United States, register your company with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, to avoid the detention of your shipment.
Diagnostic tests, ventilators, and personal protective equipment (PPE), including surgical masks, face shields, respirators, gowns, and gloves, are regulated as medical devices.
Sunglasses, spectacle frames, spectacle lens, and magnifying spectacles are medical devices exempt from the Premarket Notification 510(k) submission to the FDA. However, additional requirements apply.
A Medical Device regulated by the FDA under the Federal Food Drug & Cosmetic (FD&C) Act is defined as
▪ an “an instrument, apparatus, implement, machine, contrivance, implant, in vitro reagent, or other similar or related article, including a component part, or accessory which is:
▪ recognized in the official National Formulary, or the United States Pharmacopoeia, or any supplement to them, intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, in man or other animals, or
▪ intended to affect the structure or any function of the body of man or other animals, and which does not achieve its primary intended purposes through chemical action within or on the body of man or other animals and which is not dependent upon being metabolized for the achievement of any of its primary intended purposes.
The marketing pathways include:
▪ Premarket Notification (510(k).
▪ De Novo Classification Request.
▪ Premarket Approval (PMA).
▪ Product Development Protocol (PDP).
▪ Humanitarian Use Exemption (HDE).
▪ Biologics License Application (BLA).
Or Exempt.
All Medical Device Establishments must renew their registration between October 1 and December 31, 2024, regardless of when the initial registration occurred.
Before such registration takes place, obtain a DUNS Number issued by Dun & Bradstreet, Inc. Then, a foreign company or registrant must provide the name, address, and phone number of its U.S. Agent such as ITB HOLDINGS LLC.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration will not confirm a registration, provide an FDA Registration Number, or provide confirmation of a registration renewal until ITB HOLDINGS LLC confirms it has agreed to serve as U.S. Agent.
When you seek and request the assistance of an FDA Consultant or U.S. Agent, a Service Fee will be due.
