    The products will be obtaining directly from the manufacturer and some of them individually hold 510k.

    The activity my company want to performs is to manufacture/repackage of all the product together as a convenience kit.

    •  What regulation applied to combine the following products in a kit of convenience?
    • As a kit a new 510k will be required if some of them individually hold a 510k?

    You left out the most important part – what is the intended use of the kit and are all of the device cleared/indicated for use within that intended use.  If yes, then the FDA may use enforcement discretion per the Convenience kit guidance

    To add to what Lee said,
    The Convenience Kit Guidance is here: https://www.fda.gov/downloads/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/GuidanceDocuments/ucm080217.pdf

    Since some of the devices hold 510(k)s you may need to submit a 510(k) that includes the following statement:
    "

    I certify that the following components of my kit are either (1) legally marketed pre-Amendments devices, (2) exempt from premarket notification (consistent with the exemption criteria described in the classification regulation(s) and the limitation of exemptions for Section 510(k) of the act (e.g., 862.9), or (3) have been found to be substantially equivalent through the premarket notification process for the use(s) for which the kit is to be intended (i.e., I am not claiming or causing a new use for the component(s)).

    I further certify that these components are not purchased in "bulk", but are purchased in finished form, i.e., they are packaged, labeled, etc., consistent with their pre-Amendments, exemption, or premarket notification criteria and status." https://www.fda.gov/RegulatoryInformation/Guidances/ucm080213.htm

    This guidance may also help you:

    Like Lee said, without more details it's a tough questions to answer.

    What if one of the items in the convenience kit as a drug, with an approved NDA? Would it have to be submitted to FDA for review?
