The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates medical devices to ensure they are safe and effective for public use. Any manufacturer, importer, or distributor planning to sell medical devices in the U.S. must register with the FDA and comply with the applicable regulatory requirements. Medical devices, as defined by the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, include instruments, machines, equipment, and implants used for diagnosing, treating, curing, relieving, or preventing diseases. However, they must not work through chemical action inside or on the body.

The FDA does not accept approvals from other countries for medical devices. Any medical device made by a non-U.S. company must meet strict U.S. government standards. These devices must have proper labeling and be registered with the FDA according to FDA Medical Device Establishment Registration regulations.
