COVID-19 imaging equipment policy - how about NRTL?

  • 1.  COVID-19 imaging equipment policy - how about NRTL?

    Posted 04-May-2020 04:19
    ​Hello RAPS members,

    23rd of April, FDA released enforcement policy for imaging systems during the COVID-19 public health emergency.
    The enforcement policy allow huge flexibility on design modification of imaging systems to combat with the virus including hardware and material/components changes.
    Eventhough 510(k) review is exempted for certain imaging systems according to the policy during the emergency period, I believe that NRTL certification requirements on critical components change is still applied.
    Does anyone know that OSHA has published similar measure that FDA did?
