... Read moreA medical device is any instrument, apparatus, implement, machine, or contrivance, including any component part or accessory which is:
● intended by the manufacturer to be used for human beings for one or more of the following purposes:
● diagnosis;
● therapy;
● surgery; or
● prevention of disease which does not achieve its principal intended action in or on the human body by pharmacological, immunological, or metabolic means.
Owners or operators of establishments that are involved in the production and distribution of medical devices intended for use in the U.S. are required to register annually with the FDA.
Medical devices include a wide range of medical or health instruments that are used for treating, mitigating, diagnosing, or preventing diseases or abnormal health conditions. These devices can be hip implants, pacemakers, artificial heart valves, syringes, thermometers, contraceptive devices, and medical laboratory diagnostic instruments.
Medical devices are classified into Class I, II, and III in the USA. While most of the Class I devices are exempt from Premarket Notification 510(k), most of the Class II devices need Premarket Notification 510(k). Class III devices require Premarket Approval. All classes of medical devices in the USA need to be manufactured and approved under FDA regulations.
The GUDID database is a repository of unique device identifiers for medical devices in the United States. They are issued under an FDA-accredited issuing agency (Like GS 1). The manufacturers will get their device UDI number from an accredited issuing agency and register the UDI in GUDID.
The Unique Device Identifier (UDI) is a 17-digit numerical code that can be used to identify each medical device. The UDI was developed to facilitate tracking, tracing, and recall of medical devices in the event of a safety issue or if one is recalled.
A unique device identifier is required for all medical devices unless they are FDA-exempt. For example, most Class I and II devices do not require a UDI because they have a low risk of adverse health consequences; however, some Class I and II devices do require this identifier when they are considered higher risk.
The FDA requires your establishment to register with their Global Trade Identification Number (GTIN) database before submitting your 510(k) application or before being granted access to other databases within their website such as the Premarket Notification Database (PMN).
Domestic and foreign manufacturers, distributors, or importers of medical devices in the USA must register their establishment with the FDA.
Your establishment license will be suspended if you fail to comply with regulations or present misleading statements in the application.
Every medical device manufacturing facility undergoes FDA inspection to ensure compliance with quality standards.

The USA has the world’s top regulatory systems to make certain that every medical device sold in the country is safe and effective for human health. The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) under the FDA is responsible for monitoring companies that manufacture, repackage, relabel and import medical devices for sale. All classes of medical devices need to be developed at a site that maintains quality standards. If the equipment is manufactured outside of the USA, the devices must comply with the quality standard and be brought into the USA only if they meet the standard set by the FDA and United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
