General Information
General Information for Radiological Health
Products
Manufacturers of products subject to performance standards under the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), Chapter V, Subchapter C - Electronic Product Radiation Control are required
to furnish various reports to the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH).
The Radiological Health staff, CDRH developed this software application for the Product and Annual
reports. This application will assist manufacturers of electronic products that emit radiation in
providing adequate reporting of radiation safety testing and compliance with federal performance
standards. Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 1002 and 1003 specify Reporting
and Notification requirements 1,2,3.
Reports submitted on radiation safety of electronic products must follow the appropriate form (21 CFR
1002.7). This software application serves the same report responsibility, so long as the submitter or
manufacturer prints out the cover letter and sends it in along with the CD containing the report files.
The submitter of the report will receive an acknowledgment letter (or email message) with the
file://C:\Program Files\eDesigner\output\Master.html
3/29/2010
OMB No. 0910-0025; Exp. May 31, 2010

accession number that CDRH assigns to the report. Please reference this accession number in the
future when providing additional information about this model family in either a supplement or the
annual report. If a report is incomplete or inadequate CDRH may reject it and return it for completion.
CDRH will not enter a rejected report into our database.
CDRH DOES NOT APPROVE THESE REPORTS OR THE PRODUCTS BEING REPORTED.
It is the manufacturer's responsibility to certify that their products comply with all applicable standards
(21 CFR 1010 - 1050), based on a testing program in accordance with good manufacturing practices.
Prior to the shipment of products in interstate commerce, 21 CFR 1002 requires the manufacturer to
submit the product and Annual Reports and to comply with all applicable importation requirements
(21CFR 1005). If there are deficiencies, CDRH may disapprove the firm's quality control and testing
program, determine that the product contains a radiation defect, or determine that the product fails to
comply with a standard. CDRH will notify the manufacturer if we make such a determination. CDRH
may require the manufacturer to cease introduction into U.S. commerce until deficiencies are
corrected, and to initiate a corrective action program (21CFR 1003 - 1004) for products already
introduced into commerce.
CDRH can now accept and process 'CeSub' electronic submissions at this time, if all attachments are
PDF files only, and the cover letter is printed out and included with a real signature. Translate any text
that appears in a language other than English into English in a complete and accurate manner. Keep a
copy (save a copy to your hard drive) of the completed report in your records.
We are providing our new software applications for the old reporting forms upon request during this
beta testing period of development in Spring, 2005. Other regulatory information is still available on
the Internet under www.fda.gov/cdrh/radhealth/. No copyright exists for these forms.
Reproduce these forms as needed. If you would like to comment on the reporting forms, website, or
future electronic submissions, you may direct the comments to [email protected].
A complete Product Report is required for each product model or model family. Product Reports are
now more generally referred to as Radiation Safety Reports to distinguish the Radiological Health
submissions from medical device submissions. CDRH suggests that a complete report on one model of
a family be submitted, with a separate Supplemental Report for each of the other models in the family.
The Supplemental Report should respond in detail to the parts of the form where there are differences
to report, referencing the number of the affected item. Items that are unchanged will still appear in the
supplement from the original report.
When new models of a product are introduced, if the models satisfy the criteria for an established
reporting exemption or if the new models do not involve changes in radiation emission or performance
requirements, then the manufacturer need not report the models prior to introduction into commerce.
Rather, the manufacturer is only required to identify them in the annual report, or in quarterly updates
to the annual report. Quarterly updates to annual reports may be submitted using the Annual Report
software included in this application. [See 21 CFR 1002.13(c).]
All symbols, units, and unusual terms in the report must be adequately defined and consistently used.
Please use the terms as defined in Section 1040.10(b) and in the IEEE Standard Dictionary of
Electrical and Electronic Terms (IEEE Std. 1001972 and ANSI C42.1001972).

Note:
*QA tests for noise, contrast scale, nominal tomographic section thickness, and mean CT number should be done through the
data acquisition stage. Resolution tests of either high or low contrast objects should be done from measurements through the
data acquisition and display stages. The QA tests on resolution could be performed as two independent tests, i.e., one test
operating on the digital data and one test operating on the display device. The test for contrast scale should include materials
with CT numbers close to water so that they are representative of the CT number scale of interest to the user. At least two
materials different from water should be used, one with a CT number approximately plus 100-300 and the other with a CT
number of minus 100-300.
