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.
Note about eSubmitter software:
Instructions provided in this software briefly summarize the requirements of the regulations under
the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), Chapter V, Subchapter C - Electronic Product

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].
If you have specific questions regarding this software, please contact the eSub team by email at:
[email protected].
Thank you for using our electronic product reporting software. Please communicate your comments
and suggestions to the eSub team as often as you like.
Thank you for your continued support of the FDA Electronic Submission Program (eSub).
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control number for
this information collection is 0910-0025 (expires January 31, 2017).

Product Data
Product and Model Identification

Attention - Information about this section
In this section you'll be asked to identify several required or optional things which will help
FDA/CDRH staff to prioritize their reviews. You'll be asked to consider the following aspects:
(1) Identify your product's radiation type and the CDRH Product Code.
(2) Enter an Accession number if this will be a report supplment. If you are preparing a supplement,
you'll see that after entering a valid 7-digit Accession number many questions will no longer be
required (they will either be disabled or will be optional, meaning they will no longer have the blue
dot).
(3) You will also have several questions that are of high significance for FDA/CDRH - why you
might be submitting this report or correspondence. Please read these questions carefully, referring to
the 21 CFR regulations on the website www.FDA.gov if you are unsure if the question is relevant to
your firm's situation.
(4) If you find that you have more information that you want the FDA/CDRH to read but it doesn't
seem to fit under other questions, we have a final "Additional Information" question in this section
which invites you to add comments and/or attach a file that provides further information from your
firm about this submission. This is the place to add that extra information.

Report Information
Is this the first time you've submitted a report on the particular type of product selected
in the Product Type Reported section?

*

Since this is not the first time you've reported on this type of product, then is this a report
supplement to a previously reported model family?
Provide the Accession Number of the original report for which this is a supplement:
(Note: Do not enter any Device Premarket Application or Notification document number here,
such as PMAs, 510(k)s, IDEs, etc. See Accession number description below.)
Are you requesting a new variance, a renewal, extension or amendment to a
previous variance?
Stop:

*

If you are requesting a new variance, renewal, extension, or amendment, you must file a
Variance Request separate from this report. To do this, open a new report (File > New) and
select either "Laser Light Show Variance Request" or "Variance Request (General, not Laser
Light Show)" as your Type of Submission in the Submission Information Screen. If you select

file:///C:/eSubApps/eSub_Test/output/report.html

1/9/2017

Submission Report

Page 9 of 14

"Variance Request (General, not Laser Light Show)r" you must select the product for which
you are requesting a variance with the pick list in the bottom section of the screen.

Special Considerations

Information:

If this product will require a formally approved Variance from a certain performance
requirement, you will need to complete two Reports for FDA, both (1) this Radiation Safety
Report (RSR) on this product, and (2) a Variance Request report. This eSubmitter software
application package includes a general Variance Request form as well as the specific Laser
Light Show Variance Request form. Both the Product RSR file and the appropriate Variance
Request Correspondence file must be submitted to CDRH following the regular files
packaging procedures in this application. Both may be transferred to the same CD or
submitted via the FDA ESG to submit to the FDA/CDRH.
In addition, any Variance Request form must be printed out and the signed hard-copy sent to
FDA's Division of Dockets Management at:
Division of Dockets Management (HFA-305)
Food and Drug Administration
5630 Fishers Lane
Rockville, MD 20852
NOTE: There is no need to send a copy of the CD to Division of Dockets Management.

a Radiation Safety (Product) Report or supplemental report. Both the proposed CAP and the
design changes may be submitted in one document if you prepare a product report and
choose to include the CAP in it as a file attachment. Alternatively, you may create a separate
eSubmission for the CAP using the "Correspondence" type template and selecting "Followup correspondence to FDA."
