The United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) is the regulatory authority overseeing the medical device industry to ensure safety, effectiveness, and quality. Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), medical devices are classified into Class I, II, or III based on their risk level. Each class has different regulatory requirements, with higher-risk devices undergoing stricter approval processes.
Medical devices must comply with premarket requirements, including 510(k) Premarket Notification, Premarket Approval (PMA), or the De Novo classification process for novel devices. Additionally, manufacturers conducting clinical trials must adhere to Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) regulations before marketing their products. Compliance with Quality System Regulation (QSR) (21 CFR Part 820) is also crucial for ensuring consistent device manufacturing and performance.
Post-market regulations require manufacturers to conduct surveillance, reporting, and recalls if necessary. The Medical Device Reporting (MDR) system mandates reporting of adverse events, while FDA inspections assess compliance with regulatory standards. Failure to meet FDA requirements can result in warning letters, recalls, or market withdrawal, making compliance a critical aspect of medical device manufacturing and distribution in the US.
