If a company from any part of the world wants to sell a medical device in the United States, the FDA defines the type of product by placing it into one of three categories depending on how “risky” it is for someone to use them. The 3 FDA risk categories are:

• Class I: Very low-risk items (bedpans, band aids or products and devices with very low risk to creating any problems for the users)
• Class II: Medium-risk devices, for example contact lenses, syringes, pregnancy test kits etc…
• Class III: These items are the ones presenting the highest risk to a patient’s health, many of them are implanted inside the human body or help users in life and death situations. (Implants, ventilators)
