Clearly US FDA is headed for a system where most regulated activities have to be reported to a database by both the buyer and the seller, using terminology and formats that permit algorithmic matching. Thus they will be able to run reports that will identify mismatches, and their human resources can focus on those problem-points and can (relatively) ignore the properly matched reporters.
If your supplier doesn't correctly List your devices, you and they will end up on that mismatch list, and you and they will get heightened scrutiny so that FDA can determine which of you doesn't conform.
So, maybe ultimately it'll be their hand that's slapped, but it will have a regulatory-attention cost for you too.
Of course I don't know when this future will begin, and there are steps yet to be taken.
