With over 300 million potential customers, the US is an attractive market for medical device manufacturers. However, a so-called US agent is required to access this market, as this agent takes over communication with the FDA. As an experienced US agent partner, BEO BERLIN offers comprehensive support in this regard.
The role of the US-Agent
Before placing their medical devices on the market, manufacturers that are not established in the USA must appoint a person, a so-called US agent, and register them with the US regulatory authority. A US agent is a person or company with a physical address in the United States who acts as the responsible representative for manufacturers of medical devices outside the USA vis-à-vis the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). The FDA, as the US regulatory authority for the safety and quality of food, drugs and medical devices, requires that foreign companies wishing to offer medical devices on the US market appoint a US agent.
The main task of the US agent is to act as a communication bridge between the manufacturer and the FDA. The US agent ensures that all required compliance documentation is submitted and handles communication for companies based outside the United States. The US agent's physical presence in the US plays a crucial role here, as the FDA's jurisdiction is limited to US territory.
Since the FDA's compliance requirements are very complex, it is advisable for manufacturers to hire experts such as BEO BERLIN – this way, responsibility and know-how are bundled in one party.
Duties and responsibilities of the US agent
The responsibilities of a US agent are clearly defined and include all the essential tasks required for communicating with the FDA. The core tasks of a US agent include:
- Contact person for the FDA: The US agent acts as the central point of contact for the FDA. BEO BERLIN takes on this role and ensures that all regulatory requirements are met quickly and reliably.
- Registering a new product or company with the FDA is a complex process that involves various steps, including opening a user account with the FDA and listing a product for the first time. As a thoroughly experienced partner BEO BERLIN steps in to takle such problems for you.
- Annual renewal and update: To ensure that a company or product registration with the FDA remains valid, it must be renewed annually. BEO BERLIN handles the annual renewal of listed products and updates all the necessary information so that the FDA always has current and accurate data.
- Information and communication with the customer: BEO BERLIN reliably informs its customers about all the necessary activities associated with FDA registration and listing. This includes, among other things, the payment of annual fees and the need to update or supplement data.
Disclaimer: The US Agent is solely responsible for communication and registration and does not accept any responsibility for reporting adverse events under the Medical Device Reporting Regulation (21 CFR Part 803) or for submitting 510(k) Premarket Notifications (21 CFR Part 807, Subpart E). Furthermore, BEO BERLIN does not provide any legal advice, but purely technical and organizational support.
