Section 201 of the Medical Device
User Fee and Modernization Act of 2002
(Pub. L. 107–250) amended section 704
of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act by adding subsection (g) (21 U.S.C.
374(g)). This amendment authorized
FDA to establish a voluntary third-party
inspection program applicable to
manufacturers of class II or class III
medical devices who meet certain
eligibility criteria. In 2007, the program
was modified by the Food and Drug
Administration Amendments Act of
2007 by revising eligibility criteria and
by no longer requiring prior approval by
FDA. To reflect the revisions, FDA
modified the title of the collection of
information and on March 2, 2009,
issued a guidance entitled
‘‘Manufacturer’s Notification of the
Intent to Use an Accredited Person
Under the Accredited Persons
Inspection Program Authorized by
Section 228 of the Food and Drug
Administration Amendments Act of
2007.’’ This guidance supersedes the
Agency’s previous guidance regarding
requests for third-party inspection and
may be found on the Internet at
https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/
DeviceRegulationandGuidance/
GuidanceDocuments/ucm085187.htm.
This guidance is intended to assist
device establishments in determining
whether they are eligible to participate
in the Accredited Persons (AP) Program
and, if so, how to submit notification of
their intent to use the program. The AP
Program applies to manufacturers who
currently market their medical devices
in the United States and who also
market or plan to market their devices
in foreign countries. Such
