  1. FDA Registration and Listing: This can usually be completed in a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on how quickly the manufacturer submits the necessary information.

  2. Compliance with General Controls: Class I devices must meet all applicable general controls such as good manufacturing practices (GMP), which are usually in place already for most manufacturers.

  3. No 510(k) Required: Since most Class I devices are exempt from 510(k), there is no need for extensive testing or approval before marketing.

In total, the process could take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months, assuming all documentation and compliance steps are in order. However, any delays in submitting necessary documents or issues with compliance could extend this timeline.
