Although a firm may advertise or display a device that is the subject of a pending 510(k)--in the hope that FDA will conclude that the device is substantially equivalent to a pre-amendments device--a firm may not take orders, or be prepared to take orders, that might result in contracts of sale for the device unless limited to research or investigational use.
Provides a comprehensive search engine for information about import alerts. To search for medical devices, select "Industry," then "Medical Devices & Diagnostic Products," then the category of device of interest to you.
