Classification
Medical devices in the U.S. are meticulously classified by their medical specialty and the risk they pose to consumers. The FDA has outlined over 1,700 generic device types, organizing them into 16 medical specialties known as classification panels.
Devices are further categorized into Class I, II, and III based on risk, regulatory controls and assurance of safety and effectiveness.
Key Requirements
Navigating the regulatory framework is crucial for market access.
- Class I devices, are those for which compliance with general controls provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness. These typically require registration only.
- Class II devices, are those which require special controls in order to provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness. Filing of Pre-Market Notification or 510(k) submission are necessary.
- Class III devices, are those which are used to support or sustain human life or other important functions. These require submission and approval of a Premarket Approval Application (PMA).
- Foreign manufacturers must appoint a US Agent (only one agent is designated by the manufacturer), who acts as the official correspondent in order to facilitate communications with the FDA. The US Agent reside or maintain a place of business in the United States.
