Compliance for medical devices is a very expansive area for manufacturers of medical devices

Compliance for medical devices is a very broad and vast topic. When one talks of compliance for medical devices, one needs to keep in mind the various regulations that the FDA has put in place for manufacturers of medical devices to comply with. The FDA requires strict compliance with its laws and requirements because it is charged with the task of ensuring the quality requirements of medical devices, which are a means to ensuring that the medical devices are safe and effective.

The FDA has undertaken the task of ensuring that medical devices, along with select nonmedical devices adhere to regulations pertaining to manufacturing; repackaging, relabeling and/or importing medical devices sold in the US comply with its requirements through its Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH). The requirements for compliance for Class I, II and III medical devices, such as the registration of the establishment, listing of the medical device, 510 (k), premarket approval investigational device exemption (IDE), Quality Systems, GMP, device labeling and device reporting are set out in the various sections of 21 CFR Part 807.
