frequently asked questions

FDA medical device registration is the process through which medical device establishments register with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before marketing applicable medical devices in the United States. Depending on the device and business activity, manufacturers may also need to complete device listing and meet other regulatory requirements.

No. FDA establishment registration and medical device listing are different from FDA 510(k) clearance. Registration identifies an establishment and listing identifies applicable devices, while a 510(k) submission is generally used to demonstrate that certain medical devices are substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device.

Yes. Brazilian medical device manufacturers seeking to market applicable devices in the United States generally need to meet FDA establishment registration and device listing requirements. Foreign manufacturers must also appoint a U.S. Agent and comply with applicable FDA requirements.

An FDA 510(k) submission is a premarket notification submitted for many Class II medical devices and some Class I or Class III devices. The manufacturer generally demonstrates that the device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device.

The FDA Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR) is the FDA’s updated quality system framework for medical device manufacturers. QMSR incorporates ISO 13485:2016 by reference, with additional FDA-specific requirements. Manufacturers must establish and maintain a compliant quality management system.
