Your dental lab's website content and your FDA registration could be sending mixed signals to FDA.

Dental labs are receiving notices from FDA asking for additional information on products being manufactured by the dental lab, such as, manufacturing custom abutments or products that are branded.  FDA is looking for a 510(k) clearance in their records on FDA dental Class 2 devices and if they cannot find it the lab will receive a letter asking for the clearance information. 

Have you considered whether or not the FDA registration of your foreign exporter is correct?  If not, their registration could be putting your lab at risk of inaccurate registration.  If you are doing business with a foreign exporter and they are not registered correctly, it can affect your FDA registration. In an FDA inspection FDA may presume you are importing something you’re not.  Take an online FDA course to assist you in evaluating this part of who you are doing business with.
