    We are creating an add-on to our existing system that is considered Class II 510k Exempt by the FDA.

    Do I still need to add the product code to our FDA FURLS device listing?

    If I do need to add a product code... does anyone have guidance on how to do that in the FURLS system? I've only ever had product codes added automatically when the FDA accepted our 510ks!

    To fully answer your question, we need to know more specifics about the Class II 510(k)-exempt system, and then also a precise description of the "add-on" and its intended use in order to understand the regulatory implications of the "add-on".

    For example, if the "add-on" is just a "component" [21 CFR 820.3(c)] and doesn't affect the system's 510(k)-exempt status, then no further registration or listing is required for such a component.

    But your explanation seems to indicate that the "add-on" may have a different product code than the parent/affiliated system.  If so, then definitely yes, the add-on's product code needs to be added to your FDA FURLS device listings.  This could be the case for example regarding an "add-on" that meets FDA's understanding of "accessory", or got a component sold as a finished device.  Again, we'd need to know more details, as those details can have a profound impact on the associated regulatory responsibilities.

     FDA has a DRLM guidance that includes creation of device listings for when such listings need to be created.
