The process for FDA certification of Class I medical devices involves several key steps:

  1. Determine Device Classification: First, confirm that your device is classified as a Class I medical device. Most Class I devices are considered low-risk and are generally exempt from premarket notification (510(k)) or premarket approval (PMA).

  2. Establishment Registration: Manufacturers and importers must register their establishments with the FDA. This is done annually through the FDA Establishment Registration system. This step is mandatory for all facilities involved in the production or distribution of medical devices.

  3. Device Listing: After registering the establishment, manufacturers must list their Class I medical devices with the FDA. This is also a mandatory step that ensures the FDA is aware of all devices being marketed in the U.S.

  4. Quality System Regulations (QSR): Manufacturers of Class I devices must comply with Quality System Regulations (QSR), which govern the manufacturing processes to ensure the devices are consistently made and safe for use.

  5. Labeling Requirements: Class I devices must comply with FDA labeling requirements. This includes ensuring the device labeling contains accurate descriptions, intended use, and any necessary safety warnings or instructions.

  6. Pay User Fees: Manufacturers must pay the required FDA user fees for establishment registration and device listing. These fees are typically lower for Class I devices compared to higher-risk devices (Class II and Class III).

  7. Postmarket Surveillance: Once the device is on the market, manufacturers must comply with postmarket surveillance requirements, including reporting adverse events and conducting recalls if necessary.
