Introduction

Electronic Product Radiation Safety Reporting
Form
This software application is intended to automate the hard copy product reporting forms in the effort
of the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) to become capable of accepting
electronic submissions from industry and to improve our review process. This FDA Electronic
Submission (eSub) software is the next version of the application developed to allow us to accept all
Radiological Health reports and other submissions electronically and improve the ability of CDRH
to accomplish its mandated product and industry evaluations in a timely and efficient manner.
All electronic reports and correspondence can either be transferred to CD and mailed to the address
below, or can be sent via the FDA Electronic Submissions Gateway to CDRH. If you follow
instructions to set up an account with the FDA Gateway, it currently may take several weeks,, but
when you submit through it you will receive your acknowledgement email message with Accession
Number within minutes! Or, in the interest of faster turn-around for a one-time urgent report of if
you submit few reports, you may simply fill out this template creating the submission and then at
'Packaging' follow the instructions to transfer the files to a CD to mail in. This method of submitting
your report will be acknowledged by an email with the Accession Number within several days.
Information about the FDA Electronic Submissions Gateway can be found at
www.fda.gov/ForIndustry/ElectronicSubmissionsGateway/default.htm. Please contact the
Gateway Helpdesk with your questions about that system.
Electronic submissions on CD should be mailed directly to the Document Control Center at:
U.S. Food and Drug Administration
Center for Devices and Radiological Health
Attn: eSubmitter Team
Document Mail Center - WO66-0609
10903 New Hampshire Avenue
Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002
Submissions received in the mail on CD will be processed within a few days of receipt.

Radiation Control, that applies to manufacturers of electronic products that emit radiation. The
software provides questions relevant to requirements in the performance standards and may include
explanations or clarification about the performance, labeling, and informational requirements of the
standard. It does not replace the regulations, however, and if there is any conflict between the
software and the regulations, the regulations must prevail. Throughout this application, pertinent
sections of Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter I, Subchapter J, are cited in parentheses.
Please consult them before making design or procedural decisions.
Regulatory requirements for radiological products can be found at http://www.fda.gov/RadiationEmittingProducts/default.htm and for medical devices are located at
www.fda.gov/M/devaDvices/default.htm. If you have specific questions about the regulations,
please contact us at: [email protected].

Correspondence
Introduction
Information:

This section allows you to submit certain types of information or inquiries that are not part of
a manufacturer's Product Report, Annual Report, or other reports as specified under 21 CFR
1002. However, some correspondence types would likely be submitted in conjunction with
Product Reports. Examples of these would be Variance requests, Exemption requests, Laser
Light Show notifications, follow-ups from FDA communications and audits, corrective actions,
and notifications of product issues.
The following questions may seem a little too vague or not exactly appropriate to your
situation but they are designed to be generic questions to suit many situations and issues.
Please respond as well as possible and you have the opportunity to attach PDF letters or
files if you like.
