Hello everyone, what are the requirements for selling first aid kits in USA? The first aid kits will include medical gloves, BZK swabs and alcohol prep pads and the suppliers of each will be FDA approved for these products. What needs to be done to get clearance of the first aid kits? Thank you in advance for your help! Marked as spam

Danny-keep in mind, that if you repackage any drugs in your kit, that you are now subject to 21 CFR Part 210/211, and, even more ominous, unannounced FDA inspections. These inspections are burdensome, and 100 percent worse than device inspections. They do not annotate 483's, and worse, do not understand CAPA approaches to known non conformances. Often, on a 483, they will gig you for well understood non conformances, which are under strong CAPA control. The ambulance chasing websites will then glaringly put your 483 up on the web, and you are nakedly attacked for issues which are under control. My bigtime advice is to avoid drug additions to your kit if at all possible, or come up with a strategy to contain these horrendous CDER FDA inspectors. Even if you merely place OTC prepackaged drugs in your kit, you may now be subject to environmental controls possibly for the drug products. Also keep in mind all 50 states have quite serious State Pharmacy laws for drug shipped to their states. Marked as spam

The first aid kit that we are considering selling will have alcohol swabs as well as Sting Relief. I am trying to find out if I will need the FDA registration. without knowing what the customer will use the alcohol swab for I think that I should get it taken care of to be on the safe side. Please let me know what you think. Marked as spam
