US FDA Agent Services for Medical Device Manufacturers

Cert3Global provides structured US FDA Agent services to support non-US medical device manufacturers in meeting regulatory requirements for the United States market.

Under FDA regulations, manufacturers located outside the United States are required to appoint a US FDA Agent. This agent serves as the official point of contact between the manufacturer and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for regulatory communication.

We support manufacturers by acting as a communication link with the FDA, assisting with regulatory correspondence, and supporting coordination during regulatory processes. Our role focuses on communication, coordination, and support—not regulatory decision-making or approval.

What is a US FDA Agent?

A US FDA Agent is a representative based in the United States who acts as a point of contact for the FDA on behalf of a non-US manufacturer.
The FDA uses the US Agent to:
  • Communicate with manufacturers regarding regulatory matters
  • Request information related to products or facilities
  • Coordinate inspections and regulatory inquiries
The appointment of a US FDA Agent is a requirement for foreign establishments that register with the FDA and list medical devices.

Who Needs a US FDA Agent?

A US FDA Agent is required for:
  • Non-US medical device manufacturers
  • Foreign facilities registering with the FDA
  • Companies exporting medical devices to the US
Without a designated US Agent, non-US manufacturers may not be able to complete establishment registration and device listing requirements.

Responsibilities of a US FDA Agent

The US FDA Agent plays a defined and limited role focused on communication and coordination.
Key responsibilities include:
  • Acting as a communication link between the FDA and the manufacturer
  • Receiving FDA correspondence and forwarding it to the manufacturer
  • Assisting in responding to FDA queries
  • Supporting coordination during FDA inspections
  • Maintaining updated contact information

The US Agent does not take responsibility for product compliance or regulatory submissions.
