  • 1.  FDA Medicla devices Establishment delisting

    Posted 19-Nov-2017 16:52

    Hi,

     

    If a manufacturer has multiple manufacturing facilities and wants to delist a facility from where he has stopped manufacturing and distribution , can he delist the facility for the FDA . Is it essential to ensure that there are no stocks in distribution that were manufactured from that facility ?

     

    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi Rashmi,

    All of your concerns can be addressed in the FDA FURLS system.  A manufacturer can simply delete the device listings for a manufacturing facility where product is no longer being manufactured.  Similarly, if the facility is no longer producing any FDA regulated products, the facility status can be changed to no longer in operation.  Doing the latter to a facility will remove the facility from the annual registration fee list.  However, there is no refund if the facility is closed during the registration period.

    Regards,
    James

    We recently had this situation regarding a manufacturer in France and we are in Australia. I am not too familiar with FDA rules. However, If the EC certificate is still valid and the site has shut down, the manufactured devices can be transferred to a new facility and continue to be distributed by the new Vendor until the old EC Certificate for the shutdown facility has expired.
    Please feel free to verify with FDA.
