Injector, Contrast Medium, Automatic

How Is IZQ Classified?

Injector, Contrast Medium, Automatic is FDA product code IZQ, Class 2, 21 CFR 870.1650.

How Does It Reach the US Market?

A 510(k) premarket notification is required before it is sold in the United States: the applicant shows the device is substantially equivalent to one already on the market. The review can be done by an FDA-accredited third party, which is usually faster. No clearance under this code names a Chinese applicant.

A registration is not a clearance: the plants above are set up to make it, and the 510(k) it is sold under is held by whoever files it, often the brand.

What Do the Recalls Say?

The FDA has recorded 3 recalls under this product code since 2008. None was by a company in China. The root causes the FDA records most often are Packaging (1) and Component design/selection (1).

A recall is a fact about one product and its maker, not a grade for every manufacturer of the type.
