Smith Associates has created dedicated resources to help manufacturers register with the FDA, import their products to the US and comply with all regulations.

CROFTON, MD, USA, September 5, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- When selling regulated medical devices, it is necessary to register your facility with the FDA, adhere to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice Regulations), integrate appropriate importing procedures and comply with specific reporting requirements. Smith and Associates has been dealing with these issues for many years and has created a support program enabling global manufacturers to gain access to the United States medical market. Their newly formed Initial Importer service will handle registration with the FDA and adherence to required standards to ensure a company's devices are compliant to import and sell in the US. Additionally, they have relationships with national organizations that can aid in the distribution of the device including manual rewrites, qualified testing in labs, customer service programs, marketing services and sales.

Yolanda Smith of Smith & Associates has stated, “We are committed to support businesses who import FDA regulated products and proudly work with companies here and abroad to make distribution easier. Marketing can be daunting when you have to go through regional distributors, independent sales representatives, and others for approval. This is why Smith & Associates understands the need to give global manufactures the ability to choose an Initial Importer as their central receiving warehouse and ensure they are registered with the FDA to simplify the process of importing their product. Other issues such as complaint file handling is something we offer as well, this guarantees the manufacturer is compliant with FDA requirements to offer their device in America.”
