Pump, Infusion, Enteral

How Is LZH Classified?

Pump, Infusion, Enteral is FDA product code LZH, Class 2, 21 CFR 880.5725.

What Does It Take to Sell It in the United States?

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. 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 Has Gone Wrong With It?

The FDA has recorded 24 recalls under this product code since 2003. None was by a company in China. The root causes the FDA records most often are Process control (10), Device Design (3) and Software design (manufacturing process) (2).

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