  1. Establishment Registration and Device Listing: This can usually be completed within a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the efficiency of the manufacturer in submitting the required information.

  2. FDA Review: Since most Class I devices do not require premarket approval or 510(k) clearance, the FDA does not conduct a lengthy review. However, manufacturers must still comply with FDA regulations, including labeling and quality system requirements.

Overall, the entire process for registering a Class I medical device with the FDA can take a few weeks to a few months, assuming all documentation is in order. However, there is no formal "certification" process like that for Class II or Class III devices. Once the establishment registration and device listing are complete, the device can generally be marketed.
