In-Reply-To:
Our company purchases and sells filtration syringes for use with analytical test methods. Recently, our supplier of more than a decade denied our request to purchase, stating that the syringe was deemed by the manufacturer (BD) as a Prescription
Medical Device.
We have been asked to provide regulatory evidence for sale, including exemption from Medical/Pharmaceutical licensure. I have searched Federal code, and the closest thing I found was 21 CFR 801.125. However, additional restrictions appear
to be State dependent (we are in Maryland). Has anyone experienced this with filtration syringes before? Were you able to identify the exemption statute?
Any suggestions for alternatives to BD syringes? Must be filtration disc compatible (screw tip) and NOT labeled for medical use.
Greatly appreciate your help!
