Product Code

System generated three (3) character unique identifier of device.

Product Name

The Device Name uses the format of a noun that is usually followed by one or more adjectives, separated by commas. Therefore, the first word in the device name is usually the best search parameter. For example, to find a specific pump, search on the word "pump" to retrieve all products with the word "pump" in their name.

Performance Standard

Performance standard specifies the radiation safety performance standard(s) applicable under FDA’s electronic product radiation control requirements. Any electronic product or medical device emitting radiation may be subject to a performance standard.

The CDRH database links to the appropriate performance standard contained in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations. If the database references multiple performance standards, all may be applicable. If the database does not reference a performance standard, no standard is applicable.

Radiation Types

Radiation type describes the electronic product radiation emitted from the device, and may include ionizing, optical, microwave or EMF, and acoustic.

Radiation Type Code	Radiation Type
94	Ionizing
95	Optical
96	Microwave EMF
97	Acoustic
99	N/A

Regulation Number

The CDRH database links medical devices to the appropriate regulation that contains a product definition and is published in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations. If the database does not reference a regulation number, the device has not yet been classified and the device class listed (1, 2, or 3) is proposed, not final.

Device Definition

Definition of device, based upon nomenclature experts which incorporates definition components of device.
