FDA certification itself does not have a fixed validity period like some other certifications. Instead, FDA-approved devices and products are subject to continuous regulatory oversight. The key factors include:

1. Premarket Approval (PMA) and 510(k) Clearances: For medical devices, PMA approvals do not expire but may require periodic renewals if there are significant changes to the device or its intended use. For 510(k) clearances, they remain valid as long as the device is marketed under the same conditions; however, any substantial changes to the device may require a new 510(k).

2. Post-Market Surveillance: The FDA may require manufacturers to conduct post-market studies or reports to ensure ongoing safety and effectiveness.

3. Renewal Requirements: While FDA does not impose a fixed expiration date, manufacturers must ensure compliance with current regulations and may need to update their registration or submit amendments for changes in device specifications or manufacturing processes.

4. Facility Registration: Facilities must renew their registration annually, and the FDA periodically inspects facilities to ensure compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).

Overall, while FDA certifications do not have a set expiration date, maintaining compliance with FDA regulations is crucial for the continued marketing and sale of medical devices.
