The Ultimate Primer on FDA 21 CFR
What is FDA 21 CFR – Code of Federal Regulations?
The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is a codification of the general and permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the Executive departments and agencies of the Federal Government. Title 21 of the CFR is reserved for rules of the Food and Drug Administration. Each title (or volume) of the CFR is revised once each calendar year. A revised Title 21 is issued on approximately April 1st of each year.
Manufacturers must establish and follow quality systems to help ensure that their products consistently meet applicable requirements and specifications. The quality systems for FDA-regulated products (food, drugs, biologics, and devices) are known as current good manufacturing practices (CGMP). CGMP requirements for devices in part 820 (21 CFR part 820) were first authorized by section 520(f) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act). Under section 520(f) of the act, FDA issued a final rule in the Federal Register of July 21, 1978 (43 FR 31 508), prescribing CGMP requirements for medical devices. This regulation became effective on December 18, 1978, and was codified under part 820. The CFR is divided into 50 titles that represent broad areas subject to federal regulation.
FDA 21 CFR Part 820 (QUALITY SYSTEM REGULATION)FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION ⇒ DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES ⇒ MEDICAL DEVICES ⇒ QUALITY SYSTEM REGULATION
Current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) requirements are set forth in this quality system regulation. The requirements in this part govern the methods used in, and the facilities and controls used for, the design, manufacture, packaging, labeling, storage, installation, and servicing of all finished devices intended for human use. The requirements in this part are intended to ensure that finished devices will be safe and effective and otherwise in compliance with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act). This part establishes basic requirements applicable to manufacturers of finished medical devices. If a manufacturer engages in only some operations subject to the requirements in this part, and not in others, that manufacturer need only comply with those requirements applicable to the operations in which it is engaged.
FDA 21 CFR Part 820.30 (QUALITY SYSTEM REGULATION – DESIGN CONTROLS)FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION ⇒ DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES ⇒ MEDICAL DEVICES ⇒ QUALITY SYSTEM REGULATION ⇒ DESIGN CONTROLS
Each manufacturer of any class III or class II device, and the class I devices listed in paragraph of this section, shall establish and maintain procedures to control the design of the device in order to ensure that specified design requirements are met.
The following class I devices are subject to design controls:
(i) Devices automated with computer software; and
(ii) The devices listed in the following chart.
Design and development planning: Each manufacturer shall establish and maintain plans that describe or reference the design and development activities and define responsibility for implementation. The plans shall identify and describe the interfaces with different groups or activities that provide, or result in, input to the design and development process. The plans shall be reviewed, updated, and approved as design and development evolves.
FDA 21 CFR Part 812 (INVESTIGATIONAL DEVICE EXEMPTIONS)FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION ⇒ DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES ⇒ MEDICAL DEVICES ⇒ INVESTIGATIONAL DEVICE EXEMPTIONS
The purpose of this part is to encourage, to the extent consistent with the protection of public health and safety and with ethical standards, the discovery and development of useful devices intended for human use, and to that end to maintain optimum freedom for scientific investigators in their pursuit of this purpose. This part provides procedures for the conduct of clinical investigations of devices. An approved investigational device exemption (IDE) permits a device that otherwise would be required to comply with a performance standard or to have premarket approval to be shipped lawfully for the purpose of conducting investigations of that device. An IDE approved under 812.30 or considered approved under 812.2(b) exempts a device from the requirements of the following sections of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) and regulations issued thereunder: Misbranding under section 502 of the act, registration, listing, and premarket notification under section 510, performance standards under section 514, premarket approval under section 515, a banned device regulation under section 516, records and reports under section 519, restricted device requirements under section 520(e), good manufacturing practice requirements under section 520(f) except for the requirements found in 820.30, if applicable (unless the sponsor states an intention to comply with these requirements under 812.20(b)(3) or 812.140(b)(4)(v)) and color additive requirements under section 721.
FDA 21 CFR Part 803 (MEDICAL DEVICE REPORTING)FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION ⇒ DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES ⇒ MEDICAL DEVICES ⇒ MEDICAL DEVICE REPORTING
This part establishes the requirements for medical device reporting for device user facilities, manufacturers, importers, and distributors. If you are a device user facility, you must report deaths and serious injuries that a device has or may have caused or contributed to, establish and maintain adverse event files, and submit summary annual reports. If you are a manufacturer or importer, you must report deaths and serious injuries that your device has or may have caused or contributed to, you must report certain device malfunctions, and you must establish and maintain adverse event files. If you are a manufacturer, you must also submit specified followup. These reports help us to protect the public health by helping to ensure that devices are not adulterated or misbranded and are safe and effective for their intended use. If you are a medical device distributor, you must maintain records (files) of incidents, but you are not required to report these incidents.
This part supplements and does not supersede other provisions of this chapter, including the provisions of part 820 of this chapter.
References in this part to regulatory sections of the Code of Federal Regulations are to chapter I of title 21, unless otherwise noted.
49 CFR Part 40 (Procedures for Transportation Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing Programs)
The Department of Transportation’s (DOT) rule, 49 CFR Part 40, describes required procedures for conducting workplace drug and alcohol testing for the Federally regulated transportation industry.
Who does this regulation cover?
This part tells all parties who conduct drug and alcohol tests required by Department of Transportation (DOT) agency regulations how to conduct these tests and what procedures to use. This part concerns the activities of transportation employers, safety-sensitive transportation employees (including self-employed individuals, contractors and volunteers as covered by DOT agency regulations), and service agents. Nothing in this part is intended to supersede or conflict with the implementation of the Federal Railroad Administration’s post-accident testing program (see 49 CFR 219.200).
FDA 21 CFR Part 312 (INVESTIGATIONAL NEW DRUG APPLICATION)FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION ⇒ DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES ⇒ INVESTIGATIONAL NEW DRUG APPLICATION
This part contains procedures and requirements governing the use of investigational new drugs, including procedures and requirements for the submission to, and review by, the Food and Drug Administration of investigational new drug applications (IND’s). An investigational new drug for which an IND is in effect in accordance with this part is exempt from the premarketing approval requirements that are otherwise applicable and may be shipped lawfully for the purpose of conducting clinical investigations of this drug. References in this part to regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations are to chapter I of title 21, unless otherwise noted.
FDA 29 CFR Part 1910.134 (Personal Protective Equipment – Respiratory Protection)OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH STANDARDS ⇒ PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT ⇒ RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
In the control of those occupational diseases caused by breathing air contaminated with harmful dusts, fogs, fumes, mists, gases, smokes, sprays, or vapors, the primary objective shall be to prevent atmospheric contamination. This shall be accomplished as far as feasible by accepted engineering control measures (for example, enclosure or confinement of the operation, general and local ventilation, and substitution of less toxic materials). When effective engineering controls are not feasible, or while they are being instituted, appropriate respirators shall be used pursuant to this section.

The purpose of this part, in conjunction with 207.9(a)(5), 210.1(c), 210.2, 807.20(d), and 820.1(a) of this chapter, is to create an electronic registration and listing system for establishments that manufacture human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (HCT/P’s) and to establish donor-eligibility, current good tissue practice, and other procedures to prevent the introduction, transmission, and spread of communicable diseases by HCT/P’s.
If you are an establishment that manufactures HCT/P’s that are regulated solely under the authority of section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (the PHS Act), this part requires you to register and list your HCT/P’s with the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research and to comply with the other requirements contained in this part, whether or not the HCT/P enters into interstate commerce. Those HCT/P’s that are regulated solely under the authority of section 361 of the PHS Act are described in 1271.10.
If you are an establishment that manufactures HCT/P’s that are regulated as drugs, devices and/or biological products under section 351 of the PHS Act and/or the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 207.9(a)(5) and 807.20(d) of this chapter require you to register and list your HCT/P’s following the procedures in part 207 (if a drug and/or biological product) of this chapter or part 807 (if a device) of this chapter. Sections 210.1(c), 210.2, 211.1(b), and 820.1(a) of this chapter require you to comply with the donor-eligibility procedures in subpart C of this part and the current good tissue practice procedures in subpart D of this part, in addition to all other applicable regulations.
45 CFR Part 46
HHS regulations at 45 CFR part 46 stipulate substantive and procedural requirements for investigators and institutions engaged in HHS-supported or -conducted research. Specifically, providing definitions and information about the application of the regulations, specific sections of the regulations.
The HHS regulations, 45 CFR part 46, include four subparts:
- Known as the Federal Policy or the “Common Rule”
- Additional protections for pregnant women, human fetuses, and neonates
- Additional protections for prisoners
- Additional protections for children.
The regulations found at 45 CFR part 46 are based in large part on the Belmont Report and were written to offer basic protections to human subjects involved in both biomedical and behavioral research conducted or supported by HHS. In 1991, 14 other Federal departments and agencies joined HHS in adopting a uniform set of rules for the protection of human subjects, identical to subpart A of 45 CFR part 46 of the HHS regulations. This uniform set of regulations is the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects, informally known as the “Common Rule.” In 1995 the Central Intelligence Agency was required by Executive Order to comply with all subparts of the HHS regulations.
