 U.S. FDA Medical Devices Establishment Registration and Device Listing

According to U.S. FDA medical device regulations all medical device establishments that develop, manufacture, pack, assemble, label, export or import medical devices are required to Register with FDA (FDA Device Establishment Registration) and pay an annual FDA user fee  that is 7,653 USD for the year 2024. The registered medical device establishment must also list all of their medical devices individually (FDA Device Listing) prior to commercial distribution in the U.S. market. Aside from device establishment registration and device listing, all medical device firms that are located outside U.S. are required to appoint a official correspondent, or U.S. agent, as FDA's primary point of contact before importing into the United States.

Importance of U.S. FDA Agent

The U.S. agent may be called upon to speak with FDA in regards to the foreign registered facility. This can be a time-sensitive matter. As a result, it is crucial that the U.S. agent understands the FDA regulations and is able to advise the foreign establishment on FDA medical device requirements that must be followed. Furthermore, having an independent U.S. agent will prevent a potential conflict of interest that can appear when assigning a business partner as U.S. Agent.
