Kapstone Medical’s FDA Agent and U.S. Representative Services

If your company is based outside the United States but you wish to commercialize in the lucrative US market, you will need to appoint authorized representatives to three key roles:

  • US Representative
  • FDA Official Correspondent
  • US FDA Agent

US Representative Services

Your designed US representative to the FDA should be intimately familiar with local regulatory guidance and equipped to both guide you through the process and act on your behalf. 

Kapstone’s regulatory experts are available to fill that role for your team. We pride ourselves on our up-to-date regulatory expertise and have a proven track record of advocacy in the competitive, challenging US market. 

Assigning an FDA Official Correspondent (OC)

Your business will also need to appoint an official correspondent (OC) to the FDA. Your OC will be responsible for:

  • Annual registration of your business and listing of its activities with the FDA, including maintenance of existing registrations and listings
  • Adding your business to previous listings, if it takes on new responsibility
  • Maintaining current personnel lists for all assigned businesses
  • Receiving and responding to FDA correspondence relevant to business activities, registration, and listing

You can appoint the same person or team to serve as both your US representative and OC. Kapstone regulatory experts often take on both roles for our clients. 

Appointing a US FDA Agent

Finally, your business will also have to appoint a US FDA agent. This person must reside in the United States and will be responsible for: 

  • Helping the FDA communicate with your company
  • Responding to questions about the products you choose to market in the US
  • Helping the FDA schedule facility inspections
  • Receive and disseminate FDA documentation

Kapstone is prepared to represent your company with professionalism, grit, and expertise. We live and breathe US regulatory affairs, and will bring that experience to all official work on your behalf. Whether you bring us on board as your US representative, official correspondent, US FDA agent, or all three, we will represent your business as if it is our own.
