How to Register and List

The Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act (FDAAA) of 2007 requires that all registration and listing information (Annual, Initial or Updates) be submitted electronically unless FDA grants a waiver.

The registration of a medical device establishment is a two-step process. First you must pay the annual registration user fee. Once you have paid the fee, you can then complete the registration process. Your registration is not considered complete until you have

• paid your annual registration user fee,
• submitted your registration and listing information electronically, and
• received e-mail notification from FDA that all requirements have been met.

Paying the Annual Registration Fee

You may pay the annual registration fee electronically at the Device Facility User Fee (DFUF) website.

You will receive your Payment Identification Number (PIN) when you make your payment on the DFUF site. You will receive notification of payment confirmation and instructions on obtaining your Payment Confirmation Number (PCN) by email once your payment has cleared. This process can take several days, so be sure to make payment at least a few days before registering.

For additional information, please see Payment Process.

Once you have received confirmation of your payment, you can proceed with registering your facility.

Registering Your Facility

Each owner/operator must have an account ID and password to use FURLS. If the owner/operator has designated another person to be the official correspondent, the owner/operator must create a subaccount with a separate account ID and password for the official correspondent.

Firms that are already registered must always use their assigned account ID and password. Never create a new FURLS account if you already have one. Creating a new account will prevent you from accessing your current registration information and delay the completion of your correct registration.

If you have any questions on whether you have an established FURLS account, please contact the registration and listing office at reglist@cdrh.fda.gov.

Assistance with resetting your password can be found on our website.

Annual Registration

1. Make payment and obtain the Payment Identification Number (PIN) and the Payment Confirmation Number (PCN) at the Device Facility User Fee website.
   Note: Please follow the detailed instructions in the CDRH Learn module “FURLS Device Registration and Listing Module for Annual Registration” in performing Steps 2-9 below.
2. Log on to FURLS (https://www.access.fda.gov/oaa/) using your FURLS account ID and password.
   If you are performing your annual registration, you already have an account ID and password, DO NOT CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT. Creating a new account will prevent you from accessing your current registration.
3. Select the DRLM button (Device Registration and Listing Module).
4. Select the "Annual Registration" link from the DRLM main menu. You must select the Annual Registration link and complete this process in order for your establishment to be considered registered for the current fiscal year. Selecting this Annual Registration link will also allow you to update your registration and/or listing information.
5. Review the registration information for your establishment and make any updates.
6. Review your listing information and make updates, if needed.
   If you are an initial importer, review the list of manufacturers of your imported devices.
   If you are a foreign establishment, review your list of known importers for each of your exported devices. If this information has not been entered previously, it must be entered during the annual registration period in order to complete registration for the current fiscal year.
7. Certify that all the information is correct and click on the Submit button.
8. When prompted, enter both the PIN and PCN numbers that you received from the Office of Financial Management for your payment of the establishment registration fee. This information must be entered in order for FDA to accept your registration. If you are not prompted for the PIN/PCN numbers, please send an email to reglist@cdrh.fda.gov. Without entering these numbers, your registration is incomplete.
   You will receive a confirmation screen. Once you receive the confirmation screen, FDA will consider you registered.
9. If you have any changes to your listings, return to the main menu and select Change, Cancel or Reactivate Listings to update your listing information.

If you have any questions about this process, please email us at reglist@cdrh.fda.gov.

Initial Registration

1. Make payment and obtain the Payment Identification Number (PIN) and the Payment Confirmation Number (PCN) at the Device Facility User Fee website.
2. Go to FURLS at https://www.access.fda.gov/oaa/.
3. If you have never previously registered a device establishment, you will need to first create a FURLS account for the owner/operator (See Types of FURLS Accounts below). Note: If you already have an account for this owner/operator, you must log on to FURLS using that user ID and password.
4. Once you have set up your FURLS account ID and password, select the DRLM button (Device Registration and Listing Module).
5. Select the link "Register a Medical Device Facility" from the DRLM main menu.
6. If you do not have any existing registrations, you will see a page that asks you to identify any existing owner/operator number or registration number for your establishment. Leave the boxes empty and select "No existing registration or OO number."
7. If you have existing registrations, you will be asked to confirm that the establishment being registered does not already appear in the list that is displayed. If the establishment is already registered, do not create a duplicate record. If the establishment does not appear in the list displayed, select "Register a New Facility."
8. The Owner/Operator and Official Correspondent information that you entered when you created or updated your FURLS account will be displayed. To make changes to either the Owner Operator or the Official Correspondent information, you will need to exit the DRLM section of FURLS and return to Account Management. If the information is correct, select "Continue Registration."
9. Enter the required information for your facility and select "Continue Registration."
10. You will be prompted to enter information about the devices that you manufacture, process, distribute or import. Manufacturers, processors and distributors must list all devices produced or processed at each facility. Initial importers (facilities that take first title to a device imported into the United States) must list all manufacturers of the devices they are importing.
    1. For all facilities EXCEPT initial importers:
       1. Create Listings for devices produced or processed at this facility.
       2. For each listing, identify whether your product requires premarket notification/approval or is exempt.
          Note: If a device requires premarket notification clearance or approval it can ONLY be listed AFTER the premarket submission [510(k), PMA, PDP, HDE] is cleared or approved. If this is your only device listing, please do not register your establishment until after your premarket submission is cleared or approved.
       3. If your premarket submission is cleared or approved, you will need to do the following to list your device:
          • Enter the premarket submission number
          • Enter the proprietary name(s)
          • Identify the activities that you perform on or to the device
          If your device is exempt from premarket notification/approval, you will need to do the following:
          • Obtain the product code. You may click here to find your product code.
          • Leave the premarket submission number blank
          • Enter the product code in the filter box and click on "Filter"
          • Select the radio button next to the product code and click "Continue"
          • Identify the activities that you perform on or to the device
          • Enter the proprietary name(s)
       1. On the "Identify Manufacturers" page, click on the "Search & Add Products" button.
       2. Identify the manufacturer by using either its device listing number, establishment registration number, or establishment name and address.
       3. On the next page, under the registration information that matches the manufacturer of your devices, select the devices that you are importing and click on the "Add Selected Products" button.

       Official Correspondent

       An official correspondent is defined as:

       • The person designated by the owner/ operator of an establishment responsible for the annual registration of the establishment and the device listing. The official correspondent also receives correspondence from the FDA involving the owner/operator and any of the firm’s establishments.

       The official correspondent is responsible for the registration and listing information for each establishment to which he/she is assigned.

       The official correspondent can:
