New Product Codes for Certain Medical Devices Authorized for Emergency Use under EUAs The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has created new product codes for certain medical devices authorized for emergency use under Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs). An applicable product code has been assigned to each authorized device category. The product codes are listed in the tables for each category of devices that have EUAs. The categories of devices are available on the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Emergency Use Authorizations for Medical Devices page. Using the New Product Codes EUA holders and device user facilities can use the new product codes for medical devices granted Emergency Use Authorization for COVID-19. Use the new product code whenever a product code is needed or requested, such as when reporting an adverse event in a medical device report (MDR) or importing a device. It is important to include the appropriate product code for the medical device to: - Ensure the FDA can adequately monitor and analyze reportable adverse events for devices granted an EUA.
- Help the FDA track imports of EUA devices.
