  • 1.  Reprocessing SUD

    Posted 05-Sep-2017 17:29
    Hello,

    Quick question which may require a complicated answer...

    If a physician were to reprocess a SUD (validation reports including testing and limitations in-house), would he/she need to register as a reprocessor with FDA?  Per FDA guidance on reprocessing, it is only applicable to hospitals and third-party processors, not individual physicians.  

    Also, if the device is labeled as SUD, could he/she be liable for adulterating a device by reprocessing?    

    Thank you!
