Importing medical devices into the United States requires strict FDA compliance, and the stakes are massive. Medical device importers must ensure premarket compliance (510(k)/PMA), establishment registration and listing, proper CBP filing codes (DEV, LST, PM#), and ongoing MDR obligations. Foreign manufacturers need US agents while initial importers must maintain complaint files in the US. Products that don't meet requirements face detention, refusal, and destruction, often c

FDA requires medical device labeling to include manufacturer information, intended use, adequate directions, warnings, UDI (where applicable), and device-specific requirements. Labeling encompasses all written materials including labels, packaging, instructions for use, and promotional materials. Compliance requires both content accuracy and quality system controls under 21 CFR 820.120. This guide covers all FDA labeling requirements, common violations, and compliance strateg

Whether you need FDA approval, FDA clearance, or no regulatory submission at all depends on your device's risk classification and intended use. FDA approval (PMA) is required for high-risk Class III devices. FDA clearance (510(k)) is needed for most Class II devices and some Class I devices. However, most Class I devices and many Class II devices are exempt from premarket submissions but still require FDA registration and listing. This guide provides a complete decision frame
