    Our non-US supplier ships spare parts to US using our DFE/DEV number. Is that okay if the spare parts are coming directly from their facility and not from our facility?

    Hi Anon

    If it's a finished device, they should have their own DEV qualifier. See
    https://www.fda.gov/media/96145/download

    If it's truly a spare part, and not a medical device, then I don't know why the FDA ACE Affirmations of Compliance would even be relevant.
