Could someone please confirm my interpretation of the FDA guidance?
We are a UK company that has designed, tested and had a successful 510k submission of a non implantable theraputic medical device. We are going to contract out the procurement of components and the assembly, test and shipment of our product to a company that is located in the US and is US owned.
Does that make us a specification developer or a manufacturer?
From the almost helpful FDA definitions it would appear that we qualify as specification developer, but as it is our design and 510k and that we are accountable does this not make us the manufacturer?
A clearer insight would be appreciated
