Medical Device Exports | Criticality of FDA Export Certificates

Sustaining competitive advantage within the medical device industry involves a global product strategy requiring Export Certificates in compliance with FDA regulations. Understanding and correct execution of the export certificate processes have become critical.

Overview

Firms exporting products from the U.S. are often asked by foreign customers or foreign governments to supply proof of the products’ status as regulated by the FDA. An export certificate is a document prepared by FDA that has information about a product’s regulatory or marketing status in the U.S.

The rules that companies must follow when exporting medical devices depend on whether or not their devices have been approved or cleared by the Food and Drug Administration.

Certificates to Foreign Governments are the most frequently requested type of export certificate, but export certificates may also be requested when exporting devices under sections 801(e)(1) and 802 of the FD&C Act or when exporting non-clinical research-use-only devices.

Why Should You Attend

In today’s global environment, sustaining competitive advantage within the medical device industry involves a global product strategy that recognizes the issues involved in managing regulations across different countries. To this end, certain countries require an Export Certificate that the manufacturer and its devices are indeed in compliance with FDA regulations. In submitting export certificates, any mistake, no matter how minor, can delay product approvals, launches, or cause widespread public relations disasters. Therefore, understanding and correct execution of the export certificate processes has become a competitive advantage for global manufacturers of medical devices.
